Yup. That's right. You.can't.make.this.up. Louis Keubler filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court on June 15 against JPD and the Hinds County Sheriff's Office. A Hinds County grand jury indicted the twenty-six year old Mr. Kuebler on September 28, 2010 for the crime of Deliberate Design Murder in the death of Tamra Stuckey on June 30, 2010.
Mr.Kuebler alleges Officer Harrison transported him to jail after he was arrested by Officer Snow. The complaint states:
"Harrison stopped his police cruiser and allowed other Jackson Police Officers to interrogate and beat Kuebler after Kuebler had invoked his constitutional right to legal counsel. Other Jackson Police Offices unlawfully beat, tortured, abused, and interrogated plaintiff.
Plaintiff was ultimately transported to the Hinds County Detention Center. During the booking process at the Hinds County Detention Center, Plaintiff was again unlawfully beaten, tortured, and abused by several Hinds County employees at the jail, including Defendant Roach."
Mr. Kuebler alleges he "sustained a broken elbow and numerous other injuries and contusions." This correspondent must report that in the hearing on October 22, 2010, Mr. Kuebler did not show any signs or injuries nor had any casts, ace bandages, or similar medical aids.
Mr. Kuebler charges one count of battery, assault, and excessive force, alleging physical injury, damages, and "loss of income". The loss of income part is amusing when his own mother testified in court he never really held a steady job. My earlier post reported the conditions found by police when they arrived:
"The state called Jackson Police Homicide Detective Maurice Kendrick to the stand. The seven-year veteran is the investigating officer for the case. He testified he arrived at the scene between 2:00 and 3:00 AM after other police officers were already present. He testified Mr. Kuebler was "yelling and screaming". He went inside the Morningside apartment and found Ms. Stuckey lying on the couch with a gunshot wound to the head.
Mr. Kendrick then testified on the results of the investigation. Mr. Kuebler had residue caused by the discharge of a firearm on his right hand. The state crime lab conducted a "drop test" on the gun. The gun did not fire when dropped and the detective stated "the only way to discharge is to pull the trigger." Mr. Kendrick also stated the gunshot wound showed the shot was straightforward and firearm could not have been fired from an upward or downward angle. He said there were "a large amount of beer cans" as well as traces of marijuana and cocaine. Mr. Kendrick testified the defendant was "intoxicated" although he admitted there was no BAC test taken at the time. Sadly, the detective further testified the toxicology results on the deceased showed she had drugs in her system.
Mr. Royals then went on the attack as he asked the detective if he was "passing judgment on him for yelling and screaming" in reference to some of the racial slurs Mr. Kuebler directed at the police.
Mr. Kuebler also charged the defendants with one count of failure to intervene as well as counts of individual and government liability, assault, batter, aiding, and finally abetting. He asks the court for compensatory and punitive damages. Mr. Kuebler was scheduled to go to trial this week in the death of Tamra Stuckey but the trial was postponed.
Note: Here is a picture of Mr. Kuebler on October 18, 2010 I posted last year from the Hinds County Sheriff's office website .

Problem is who do you believe, a drugged out drunk murderer or the Jackson Police. I wouldnt trust either one.
Stupid waste of time and energy...
I am sure that this is the ranting of a madman, namely his daddy "Dick" Kuebler
I hope this guy gets what's coming to him. Tammy was a very sweet girl with low self-esteem who was repeatedly subjected to abuse by this psycho. I pray the truth will come out. It saddens me that the accused and the victim here are classic examples of the "Haves" and the "Have-Nots" and that, unfortunately, this so often effects the outcome of a case. Thank you, KF, for reporting on this murder. Please keep up the good work in exposing this monster! Justice for Tammy!!!
The psycho has some well-thought-of lawyers. . .
This will be an expensive exercise...
Quite frankly, how cares if the cops beat the shit out of that low life.
When the trial get postponed until? I didn't see anything in the news about it getting pushed back... must have missed it.
This is a transparent ploy by his ever-indulgent parents to delay the inevitable. That said, I imagine the cops probably did tune him up a little. The way he was carrying on when he was arrested - yelling and screaming obscenities, calling the cops ni**ers, kicking out one of the rear door windows of the police cruiser - those guys don't go for that crap.
This is the first I've heard of this story. How come there doesn't appear to be much (if any) information online about this?
I don't think David Dunbar and his group are going to provide very good representation on a case like this. It's completely outside their normal areas of practice. He must be a friend of the family or something.
1] get copy of booking foto showing no injuries
2] put cellmate on stand about what happened when the little jerk, still high, called him the n word
3]motion to dismiss granted
I wonder how long it will take them to extradite him back to MS from pineville, La?
