The trial for Tommy Young was postponed from today until May 18, 2015 by Judge Bill Gowan. The continuance was granted since Mr. Young claimed he got a new attorney and needed more time to prepare for trial. He is now represented by Faye Peterson. His previous barrister was Dennis Sweet, IV. Mr. Young faces eight counts of armed robbery, carjacking, and aggravated assault. This is the second time his trial has been postponed. He was indicted in March 2013. Judge Gowan revoked his bond on December 12, 2014 after he did not appear for a hearing in court.
JJ reported in December:
You may remember this little manhunt back in 2013:
The little thugs hit a house in Northeast Jackson, led the police on a high-speed chase, and then were caught by the Pearl River. Hinds County Judge Houston Patton did his job and refused to set bond for Mr. Tommy Young. He sat in jail for over a year and a half. He is scheduled to go to trial on February 2 and is the subject of a three indictments ( see documents posted below). He is represented by Dennis Sweet, IV.

This unfortunate young black man was a victim of racial profiling.
Damn it Kingfish. Another story for which you do not have formal official blessed authorization to re-post from NextDoor.
Just asking for some maturity. I feel violated.

Faye Peterson. He's going down.
7:39your comment reminded me of a story that was circulated in Monroe County. The sheriff and deputies were brow beating some low life and could not get him to confess. The law enforcement officers finally told the crook that they were going to insure that Senstor Hob Bryan would be his court appointed lawyer-- the low life criminal immediately confessed to that crimes plus several others -- he wanted no part of the senator.
Indicted two years ago and still not ready for trial? BS
Preach it. I'm certain the black community, no our church community is thankful for your crusade. WE are behind you and believe we are turning the corner. Thank you Mr. Kingfish! Thank you and bless you.
"Turning the corner" because there's an unattended SUV sittin' around it.
Careful 6:01--if nextdoor fails you will miss out on shilling stuff on it.
How can Nextdoor NOT fail? It refuses to identify the enemy, doesn't believe in boots on the ground and is shooting blanks in the wrong direction.
How can 'Nextdoor' NOT fail? It won't identify the enemy, pretends they don't exist and shoots blanks in the wrong direction. Isn't that the definition of 'destined to fail'?
