Jackson Jambalaya

Looks like Judge Weill did to a gator what he does to the Constitution.

Where did he get that one? What'd he use? Local or Vicksburg? Good job judge.

On the Rez or ????

I've said it before, and will continue to say that it should be legal to kill these things anywhere, anytime, anyplace !!

Can't tell if @12:33 is ignorant or just bitter... Or a JFP intern which would make them a bit of both.

I agree with 6:21
Why on earth is there a season to hunt them? It should be year long celebration of hunting. When it's cold they can't move fast. Even someone like me could get one and is make some sweet boots outta em too

Narrower and narrower.

6:21 and 9:05

It's called wildlife management. If you let people hunt them all the time, it won't be long until they aren't any to hunt.

They were endangered until 1987 because of overhunting.

oh Lord help us!

Even the most ordinary events create controversy where none need exist.

The penchant these days is put the worst interpretation on everything.

Politics and religion are brought up to spoil what should be a pleasant social gathering even by those who should know better!

We're becoming a Nation of nasty old gossips and curmudgeons!

[AND] in your case boring old self-annointed pontificators who can't stop droning on ad nauseum.

Its funny how so many people that are not involved in the legal system think that Jeff Weill is a good circuit judge. The man doesn't even understand the job. Almost every lawyer that practices in Hinds County can't stand him. Most wont take cases where he is the Judge. Its not really that hard to say "you get the max sentence" everytime.

I wouldn't feel the need to " pontificate" if your mother had taught you how to be a gentleman!

duh 3:51. that is whey we love him. what an imbecile.

5:55,

You may want to learn how to spell before referring to someone as an imbecile. Its "why" not "whey" (maybe you were thinking about protein) you ignorant redneck.

A nitpicker calling someone else an imbecile...sigh.

Even literary genius have editors, 7:13 pm.

I'm not 5:55 pm by the way. I'm just tired having to plow through drivel to get to those who have something worthwhile to blog.

Little worthwhile here these days 10:18, little worthwhile.

I get it. Political candidates advertising here send Kingfish pictures of their hunting and fishing exploits to show potential voters they are big outdoors enthusiasts. After all, culling small gators is an important consideration when selecting a Circuit Court judge.

The Clarion-Ledger and Northside Sun have published photos of his gator kills before yet I don't see you giving them grief.

As a matter of fact, I don't see ANY OTHER media outlet in Jackson whose advertising is scrutinized the way it is on this website. You don't go to Clarion Ledger, WLBT, WAPT, WJTV, or even the Northside Sun to complain about their advertising or mention it. Doesn't even register on your radar. Yet someone advertises on this website and they've committed a cardinal sin.

I've had several current and former Hinds County prosecutors tell me that Judge Weill is responsible for more acquittals than any other judge. Apparently jurors cannot stand the way he treats defendants and/or their attorneys. The prosecutors lament how he bends over backwards to help the state and it backfires.

I've never seen a judge who is so despised by the entire bar: civil, criminal, prosecutor, etc.

10:59am

You are exactly right. Its the way he treats people, be they attorneys, baliffs, defendants, etc. The entire bar has been praying that he gets defeated in November.

I don't think that it will happen this go round but next time demographics will have shifted to where he can go back to being a mediator.

Yeah 1:33. The entire bar wants Jeff out and Ali Shamshideen (sic) in? RIGHT....

Yes 1.33, you are RIGHT... the entire bar does want Weill off the bench. Ali needs to be on the bench so intelligent thought returns to that courtroom.
