Jackson Jambalaya

Holy Shit! This is really balanced reporting. Take out sex, race, and whatever - you still have a freaking murderer getting pardoned.

Just another one of more than 200 of these instances as of today acording to reports. This is now on national news. When things like this happen in our state, is there any wonder why others look down on and castigate Mississippi? And to think this pompous ___ at one time expected people to elect him President of the United States! He has certainly lived up to his image as a Boss Hawg, good ole boy, truly disgusting fool. I hope the people who supported and voted him into office are proud and happy now. Wonder how the Barbour political clan and his lobbying firm will take this?
Mannheim - Jackson

really??? only 2 comments? where is all the righteous indignation? 2 vs. 36 and counting sort of says it all.

Damn that 8:27PM you son of anger. Can you believe what 8:27PM said, says and is saying. What has become of this world when 8:27PM is allowed to comment on a pardon when the likes of 8:27PM is walking the streets. Geesh KF, why don't you post a story about 8:27PM and the incredible indignation they stand for in the face of all these pardons. My word, what is next, cats and dogs sleeping together?

I now know why there are 50+ comments on the *other* story, it is because of the likes of 8:27PM.

SHAMEFUL Gov. Barbour! I can't believe I voted for you twice and bragged on you as Gov. of our state.

Atleast Barbour didnt let any child molested out

Somewhere George Bell is like WTF!!

What was going on at the Governor's mansion that Barbour wanted the "trustees" to keep quiet about so bad that he would grant them a pardon for their murders????????

good grief .... I am 8:27 ..... just meant it has always seemed to me that people were more outraged at what Karen had than what she did..... accept for a little luck ..... could have been me in my 1980's youth.... should go and turn myself in to the proper authorities ..... y'all would have a field day with me.

10:12, you're getting warm, but it wasn't going on at the guv's mansion - at least not the one on Capitol St....

Awww, 8:27PM you are always welcome here as long as we can call you anonymous.

Oh , good grief...another crazy woman out on the street! Haley and his staff obviously know NOTHING about human behavior to imagine this one won't be looking for her next victim.

"Somewhere George Bell is like WTF!!"


WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER!

10:17pm I can assure you that a great many of those with money are the most outraged . It one of the reasons we have a new sheriff in Hinds County.
It often seems to us that those with superficial knowledge or those who hope to gain favor with the Irby family are those making excuses. Or some , perhaps, like you , imagine, incorrectly ,the bad behaviors can be attributed to youthful bad judgment. And, there are always , of course, those who are willing to assume that a declaration of newly found faith doesn't require a period of unforced or self-serving changed behavior to be believed.

There are a whole lot of people in prison who should not be there," Chokwe Lumumba, a Jackson City councilman, told The Clarion-Ledger. "Obviously, murder is the kind of thing you put people in [prison] for ... but that doesn't mean that people cannot be rehabilitated."

When you are involved like I was you would know what happened. Manslaughter in MS prison system is not considered a violent crime. This could be someone in your family. Do not be so quick to judge. She lost her home, family, and freedom.
The Simpson kids did not care about their father as they just wanted money. For you out of state idiots, mind your own business.

10:14 pm Do you really think all of those pardoned will stay in Mississippi? Do you not think issuing pardons, an ancient right of kings,isn't a legitimate topic of national discussion?

Reading the article, one would be more likely to believe this woman married Mr. Simpson for his money. There were two life insurance policies and the children were not the beneficiaries nor did they bring charges. The State of Mississippi charged Mrs Simpson with murder.

AND, manslaughter is simply a lesser charge when premeditation is difficult to prove.

You are the pot calling the kettle black.
