Watkins fires back. Says ruling is "absurd" and there was conflict of interest.

If only Watkins were black then he could have also claimed that Delbert was a racist.

Lance $$$tevens is digging the action though.

Boy the plots just thickened. This one will end up "take no prisoners" on both sides. Ya think it just got "personal"?

4:11. Everybody knows that Delbert has always been the smartest one in the room.

I think "Robert Bailess" (Bobby) is the Ole Miss linebacker of years gone by, that has that hot daughter actress.

I doubt Watkins had that kind of juice to put into the deal. Therefore, the majority of his withdrawal would be the developer fee. I wonder if that was reported as income? Ah, but he has probably already realized that mistake and filed an amended return. If not, club fed time...a letter from your attorney, one of the finest such in the southeast, won't divert the IRS.

5:07 he is. He played on the team that got screwed at LSU with LSU running 2 plays in FOUR seconds. Even the QB Bert Jones admitted HOME COOKING. See here:

It has been well documented here at JJ from public sources that Watkins had/has big time cash flow problems.

OK! You've had your one smart ass Ole Miss comment. Enough of that. No more allowed.

Before he became a politician Delbert was a smart tax lawyer who put together his own development deals. He knows how they're supposed to be done - and probably always figured Watkins for the poseur he turned out to be.

Yeah 9:14. And screaming at the top of his lungs, how stupid HRI and Watkins were to even think the King Edward would work. He knew it all, Pres Kabakoff was a dumbass, and King Delbert declared the King was a turkey.

Had we all listened, the empty ass building would still be an empty ass building.

Delbert was a business lawyer...to be more specific-- a tax lawyer. He knew how to put high net worth individuals usually Republicans into partnerships to do some commercial activity but mainly to avoid taxation. When he went into politics it was because he was eager to do more socially beneficial work. He already knew all the power brokers--he just wanted to get to know the little guys.

Development poseurs regularly leave shiny buildings behind them on the way to the pokey. Is the King Edward really financially viable, without all the tax break smoke and mirrors? It's obviously not throwing off enough profit to keep Watkins from needing to cheat people on other deals, and it remains to be seen whether it can survive the sunset of its tax deferments.

10:27. Fun to watch clueless loudmouths spout of about what they are obviously ignorant about. LMAO.

The King is doing great, no thanks to hicks like you

Sunset indeed. Explain your expertise for comment. You can't.

I am an attorney who has practiced for over 35 years. I know all the players involved. Let me just say that there is no finer person or attorney than Bobby Bailess

Those critcizing the KE - read what the story is and charges are here. Has nothing to do with the KE. All about Metrocenter and Meridian. KE is doing just fine. At least apprise yourself of the basic facts to the allegations before firing and then aiming.

SOS thank ;you for doing your job. Is this another case like the Frazier's? Very similar, have to wonder if Watkins had any dealings with the Fraziers and was trying to copy their illegal and unethical procedures. Maybe they can share a jail cell. Glad someone is keeping the developers honest.

I know, Bobby, his wife Natalie, his late brother Oren (Butch), eternal class favorite Kathy (Bummie), Ginger and Susan (both beauties at Ole Miss), his Mama and his Dad.

People are not made finer than this family.

Team Jackson Spotlight said...

Stop trying to control the narrative 9:28 AM. Nope, there is a bigger story here and the story is David Watkins, all his projects, his overextension, his myriad of failures, his overcommitments, his underdeliveries, his unpaid property taxes, etc.. Everything is on the table. RetroMetro and Meridian is where it all bubbled to the surface but it is by no means his only big-time mess.

It is desperation time. Appears that attorney David Watkins is acknowledging that he is stuck.

Ol' Davey may call himself a Democrat but he's been one quietly for decades while ma$$aging all points and players on the political spectrum whom he believed could help further his dreams of being an uber-developer.

Robert Graham has infinitely more standing to complain about political payback than does David Watkins.

Feel better 10:57? Standing taller now? Got anymore sand to kick David's way? Please do humor us with your lifetime success story.

I do hope you are an atheist.

I don't think 12:43 was defending Watkins as much as he was pointing out what a sad, sadistic prick 10:57 is. And hoping he is an atheist so he will burn in hell.

And 1:38 since you are so damn smart, answer your own post. Be an anonymous big shot. Name the rightful owners. Where and what are these lawsuits. Give links to the alleged Meridian lawsuit. You are full of shit.

I hope you are an atheist as well.

4:19/1:38 Will you answer the question or not? Kingfish some yahoo comes here throwing out shit and won't back it up?

Give your links and proof or admit you are a liar.

It is really embarrassing how much this site mirrors the high schoolers trash site Yik Yak, where anonymous people make hurtful comments without any personal accountability. I say to anonymous, "Man up. Reveal yourself if you are so well informed and so pure." Then I can argue you down to your appropriate spot on the social and intellectual ladder. Until then, Anonymous (who called me a 'sleaze'), your breath is bad and you have a pizza face.

Lance KUDOS for your candor.

Agreed. Don't see any proof of lawsuits so comment is zapped.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
