Catch & Release, SQUAWK, Catch & Release

A Jackson man was arrested in New Orleans for sex trafficking this week after he was given a break by the Hinds County criminal justice system this year.   Emily Lane reported at the Times-Picayune

Sex toys, condoms and notebooks scribbled with names, phone numbers and dollar amounts were found Monday (July 11) in a New Orleans motel room authorities say was used by two accused sex traffickers.

U.S. Marshals located two New Orleans teenage girls, both of them juveniles who had been reported as missing to New Orleans police, outside the motel room before the arrests were made, court records show.

An arrest warrant for one of two suspects states agents with a U.S. Marshals task force and Department of Homeland Security encountered the missing juveniles, ages 15 and 16, around 6:30 p.m. Monday. Authorities spoke with and detained the girls after they exited a room at the Historic Streetcar Inn, 1509 St. Charles Ave., near the intersection with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

After authorities detained the missing girls, a 36-year-old man, Pierre Smith, walked out of the motel with a 4-month-old baby, the warrant states. The 16-year-old girl told authorities she was the child's mother and that Smith was the child's father.

Also arrested was 38-year-old Angela Cagnolatti. Both she and Smith were arrested Monday and charged with two counts of child sex trafficking, records show. Cagnolatti was arrested after she pulled up to the scene where the two girls were detained in a white 2000 Lincoln Town Car with a Hinds County, Miss., license plate. ...

The warrant states the investigation revealed the two adults had been "moving from motel to motel around the city" with the girls. That story corroborated information the mother of the 15-year-old victim, who reported her daughter missing, told investigators Friday (July 8).
After Cagnolatti gave permission for investigators to search the motel room, the warrant reads, they recovered "several cellular phones," a laptop, "numerous sex toys," condoms, lubricant, "ledgers" and other paperwork. Included in the notebooks and paperwork were Backpage ads, names with corresponding phone numbers, times and "amount of money for those times," the warrant reads.

Backpage is a website known to be used as a classified listing for prostitution. Rest of this disgusting story.

Smith  was indicted last year for possession of cocaine and a firearm in Hinds County. He was represented by attorney Sanford Knott.  Judge William Gowan remanded the case after Smith agreed to enter a pre-trial intervention program.

Kingfish note: Remand usually means the prosecutor can bring the case back up again if the defendant gets into trouble during the term of the agreement.  One hopes such will happen in this case.

Remand means the 'prosecutor' can bring back up a case....

You really think that RSS might bring back up a case where Sanford Knott was the defense counsel? Might this be another one of those cases where RSS was 'assisting' defense counsel? If so, wonder if RSS has any influence in NOLA.

RSS should be proud of his work. Will he be man enough to bring a motion to revoke the original remand order?
Nothing like justice being brought for the .... Criminal and not the victim

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.
