Jackson Jambalaya

An appearance bond isn't supposed to be punishment, it's to ensure the accused's appearance in court for his trial. I thought Irby's original bond on the cyberstalking charge was unreasonable, containing conditions more akin to a probation order than to an appearance bond. So he violated the conditions of the bond, which in my judgment had no business being there in the first place. Is he likely to show up for the trial of the cyberstalking charge? Of course he is. So why imprison him (even at home) when he hasn't been indicted, much less convicted, of the charges?

I just wasted 4 minutes of my life listening to Danks ramble on and on and on and on and on and on...
I forgot what I was watching after awhile after listening to him ramble on and on and on and on and on....He is worse at speaking than George W.
That makes me want to drink after listening to him go on and on and....you get the point

Wine therapy baby, its all about wine therapy.

Jackson's Hero...You people make me sick! The only way he is under house arrest is because he paided off the judge. Justice is for sale in City of Madison. Dale Danks need to go back to Jackson and stay there. We got enough crupt offical here in Madison County.

paided and crupt official huh?
Nice...

11:11 - you are a "looser."

11:18- you made me giggle...I mean, "giggul"

mean girl

So you are saying that we ought to go easy on a proven liar, pervert, gin soaked piece of trash, poor husband and father and a arrogant bully all his life. His supposed "brain damage" sounds like a concocted lawyer trick to get his client off the hook. This would make a good movie. I "ain't the same either after reaching 73 years old but that does not give me the right to be a perverted clown.

House arrest. Did they take away his computer access, too? He emailed his victim hours after getting out of jail on the cyberstalking charge. If they did not take away his computer access, house arrest is a joke.

He needs to be in jail.

Well, Stuart's probably going to find himself in a Lindsey Lohan-type spiral where failure to abide by the court's order gets him in more trouble than the orignal offense. I wonder if he's having to wear one of those alcohol-monitoring SCRAM anklets?

At least Lohan has a great rack!

Per WJTV website dated March 23:

Jackson businessman Stuart Irby continues to make news. Wednesday a judge granted his request to have his brother take over his personal affairs.

Irby claims he's incapable of taking care of himself because of the injuries he suffered in that deadly crash two years ago that sent his wife to prison.

A Hinds county chancery judge has appointed Irby's brother Charles as his temporary conservator.

That means he will be in charge of seeing after Irby's personal needs and managing his property.

Stuart Irby's attorney says he has not responded well to treatments for his brain injury.

Next week a judge could decide whether to name Irby's brother as his permanent conservator.

Yesterday, Irby was sentenced to house arrest for violating terms of his bond on a cyber-stalking charge in Madison.

Irby is required to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet around the clock and he must also pay the $360.00 monthly cost of the device.

Cry me a river. Why are we, the citizens, going to have to put up with his behavior? Clearly his friends in high places won't do a thing to curb his antics in the slightest.

I've got copies of the papers. I'll upload when I get a chance.

I Like Dale Danks but wonder if and I am sure he did receive money from the Irby's when he ran for office. If he did it seems he should have let another judge handle the case.

Danks is an idiot.

all rise the honorable dale danks preciding... LONG LIVE THE KING. Best mayor jack-u-stan ever had. (sorry had to use it at at least once)

Irby's basically a retard after the wreck. The conservatorship was the right thing.

But Dale Danks. Geezum. I get to listen to a lot of judges, but I've never been before one who loves the sound of his own voice so much.

About a month ago, I was waiting to talk to the city prosecutor, and Danks was rambling because some criminal defendant had failed to appear.

He prefaced about three long paragraphs with "Let the record reflect..."

Guess what, you pompous douche: there's NO RECORD in municipal court. Look around; do you see a court reporter? No? Then there's no effing record.

Soooooo sanctimonious.

11:31 I'm fortunate in that I don't have to listen to judges on a regular basis in my career. From my lay perspective of the law profession, I thought Danks was a pompous ass, douche as well. Thanks for the professional perspective!! LOL!

Reminds of the TV footage of Dale Danks showing up at the George Bell standoff.

The suggestion that Judge Danks did something improper or was "paided and crupt" is asinine. He's one of those judges that I would put in the category of "uncorruptable." He's also one of the better municipal court judges I've encountered, simply because he's fair and knows the law.

The initial bond and conditions were tougher than we see in most serious, *legitimate* felony cases, especially the alcohol restriction. There is no special treatment here.

I know lots of folks don't like Irby, but that's no reason to advocate the misuse and bastardization of bond, or to make ridiculous allegations against Judge Danks.

JKev, I wasn't there, so the following is pure speculation on my part. I've noticed other municipal and justice court judges mention putting something in "the record." This is usually a cue for the clerk to put it in the abstract or write it in the court file. That can come in real handy 6 months and 500 cases later, when nobody remembers what the hell happened last time.

Again it's just speculation on my part, but this could be an alternative explanation for the Judge's statement.

Exactly, 8:44. Think or say whatever you will about him, whether you like him or not doesn't matter to me, but Judge Danks does know the law, and he knows what he is doing. It really is ridiculous to insinuate that he would handle this case in any other way but fair.

Curt:

Yours is a plausible explanation. Sadly, it doesn't apply here.

To clarify, he prefaced several long solilloquies with the phrase. He'd say "let the record reflect," then spout several sentences.....(long pause, looking around the courtroom)....."Let the record further reflect," talk talk talk, etc.

He could have just said, "Issue a bench warrant." Trust me.

"let the record reflect" is the video recorder. His next chances to be the Mayor of Madison. Look out Mary!
