130 years for Devine

It looks like Eddie Devine won't be carjacking anyone for the rest of his life.  WAPT reported:


Eddie Devine, 17, pleaded guilty to two counts of armed carjacking, three counts of armed robbery, three counts of kidnapping and two counts of sexual battery.

The charges stem from incidents reported on April 28, 2013, March 1, 2014 and April 19, 2014.


In the last case, Devine and Remy Harvey, who was 13 years old at the time, are accused of forcing a woman into her car outside a Jackson apartment complex and then driving around while one of the teens raped and assaulted her with an icepick, police said. The woman was able to escape when Devine and Harvey stopped for gas, authorities said.

“The daughter I got back after that incident is not the same girl that I brought into the world. She is not. She is afraid,” said the father of one of the victims.

While free on bond on the Jackson charges, Devine was arrested by Flowood police on Dec. 27, 2014, in connection with a carjacking outside Bed, Bath & Beyond. Devine, who police said was armed with a knife, is accused of threatening to kill the woman before stealing her SUV.

 Devine was sentenced in Hinds County to 30 years for armed carjacking, 30 years for sexual battery, 30 years for armed robbery (with 15 suspended) and 30 years for kidnapping. The day-for-day sentences will run concurrently, Judge Bill Gowan said.  Rest of article.

Kingfish note: Now Mr. Devine gets to face the Rankin County criminal justice system.  Good job, Judge Gowan.

I guess Schuler-Smith is beginning to feel the public pressure. Or, he might be reading some of Kingfish blogs. Hope Jackson doesn't turn into Ciraq (Chicago+Iraq).

I'm no lawyer, but how do you come up with 130 years given 4 counts at 30 years each less 15 years on one count when the sentences run concurrently and not consecutively?

So if they''re concurrent, it actually means he would get out in 30 years or less, before he even turns 50. Great. Rankin County better put him in jail for life for the case, there, or else we'll be seeing some more carjackings or rape from him in, oh, about 2045

He'll be out in six months.

While not a great admirer of Smith, the fact his office got this guy to plead to 30 years, of which he will serve every day of, and avoid the victim having to relive that on the stand, he deserves some credit. That is not something that happens every day.

Now, Rankin will give him some time, but it will be consecutive. You won't see this fellow again, is my guess.

Since the sentences are to run concurrently, the actual sentence is 30 years to serve. So he actually is getting about 3 years for each violent crime. I don't think that's enough time and neither did the father of one of the victims. This is yet another defendant friendly plea deal.

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.
