One of my really good cop friends told me one time, "We only catch the dumb ones."

And I'm sure these two geniuses thought they had a great plan.

Dumb shits.

that's not bank robbery. its embezzlement and conspiracy to embezzle.

How carefully was it planned, Johnny?

Not very, Ed, not very.

"Perception of crime"

Ever notice how in a cheaply-made movie, everybody ends up looking related, because the same crappy cosmetologist has done everybody's eyebrows and makeup?

It's kinda obvious that these two Einsteins share an eyebrow 'artiste'. Maybe that's how somebody realized they're related?

@11:13 No, it actually was a bank robbery.

Anonymous said...

1:50 no, one element of robbery is that the victim is placed in fear of, or caused, bodily harm. if the teller was in on it, he was not in fear at all, except maybe of being caught, at least the state could never prove such fear beyond a reasonable doubt. if the facts in the presser are true, it was not a robbery, it was a different crime.

JPD continues to perform well

Robbery is the crime of taking or attempting to take anything of value by force or threat of force or by putting the victim in fear.
Embezzlement is a type of financial fraud,
It doesn't matter if a bank employee knew about or assisted with the robbery.

JPD robbery/homicide is a bad joke. this wasn't a hard case because Trustmark's security system got a full frontal photo of the "robber" that was publicly published. The suspect turned himself in. Barney Fife could have made this case...

2:41, who was put in fear if the teller knew about the person coming in with the weapon? This could be an interesting case for the person with the weapon. I'd love to take his case. He's guilty of conspiracy, tops.

Key word is OR putting the victim in fear. Not AND putting the victim in fear.
Fact: Suspect approached teller stating he was armed (doesn't matter if he was or was not. Doesn't matter if teller knew the guy or not)
Fact: Suspect demanded money (this is the part that you don't seem to grasp)
Fact: Suspect was able to flee the scene with undisclosed amount of money(uhhh...I think that is ROBBERY)


If you get to defend the case, I hope I'm on the jury!

January 27, 2016 at 4:41 PM - Words ARE important, aren't they? So, when you say robbery is " taking or attempting to take anything of value by force, or threat of force, or by putting the victim in fear" the FIRST key words are "BY FORCE". This statement is intended to make it clear that "FORCE" is necessary for it to be considered "robbery". If there is no "force" there is no "robbery" ....and the rest of the definition becomes totally irrelevant.

The simple act of "taking or attempting to take something" is not enough for it to be "robbery". For example, if you take something when nobody else is around, you are STEALING, you aren't "robbing". It's a crime, yes. But it ain't robbery.

Therefore, if the accomplice KNEW what was going on and willingly participated in it,there was no "taking by force" so there was no robbery.

If I'm on the jury, the guy WALKS if they try to tag him with "robbery".

WTF? A bunch of snot-nosed adolescents in a first year law course pretending to be experts on law. Get the hell back to your outdoor pizza at Jeff Good's Fondren place. Mom doesn't want to see a light on under your door after 10:00.

luv would be lawyers and prosecutors. these clowns didn't do a robbery. been there. litigated this. know case law. its embezzlement.

18 USC 2113

the other tellers and customers would also be victims

Y'all Pickin' At Nits said...

9:25 is correct. All of the other people in the bank (except the two close cousins) were in fear and thought they were about to be harmed if they didn't stand still and obey commands.

If this is embezzlement, I'm a beaver trapper.

Tell it to the FBI and the federal prosecutor since they have jurisdiction over bank robberies.

Anonymous said...

the feds have jurisdiction over federally chartered banks and often decline jurisdiction and allow the locals to prosecute. we'll see what happens here.

Ahhh, I remember being in law school and thinking it was interesting whether a fact pattern fit these or those elements of this or that offense. But then I got back into the world and realized it's not interesting at all. These guys worked together to take stuff that wasn't theirs, whatever you call it. This ain't high philosophy guys. Only way it would interest me now is that you gotta pick the offense to find the possible prison sentence. You know, flesh, blood, iron . . . reality.

a few final points and I'll stop beating the dead horse:

1. embezzlement is not fraud, its larceny;

2. other persons in the bank are not victims, they are possible witnesses;

3. provisions of the USC are irrelevant unless the feds want to take up this case and I doubt they are interested in these run of the mill offenders; and finally,

4. every robbery is part larceny, but not every larceny is a robbery.

Of Horses Beaten And Victims Counted said...

Wrong, 2:13 (who has finally stopped beating his horse). 'Other Persons in the bank' are indeed victims if one of them passes out or has a stroke or gives up his watch on demand or can show the least bit of harm in any of a hundred ways. And so is the teller three windows down who seeks counseling and has it paid for on the bank's dime.

Go check on your horse.

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.
