(Alleged) Doc kidnapper tries to reduce bond.

Andre Kennedy filed a motion to reduce his bond in Hinds County Circuit Court yesterday.  Kennedy and his accomplice Edwin "Guttalife" Robinson (allegedly) kidnapped and robbed a doctor from his Ridgewood home early on a Saturday morning, May 16, 2015.  Robinson did not survive his life of crime as the victim managed to get his hands on a pistol and kill him.

The case is assigned to Judge Jeff Weill.  Public Defender Chris Routh filed the motion on behalf of Kennedy.  A Hinds County grand jury indicted Kennedy in February for one count of armed robbery, one count of attempted kidnapping, and one count of house burglary.   Bond was set at $150,000.

 Routh argued that Kennedy is indigent and is still in jail because he is unable to post bond.  He states that bail is to ensure a defendant appears at trial and is not to serve as a punishment.  Kennedy has no prior felony history and was employed as a prison guard at MDOC prior to this incident.  He also served in the Mississippi Army National Guard.

Recap of case: 

 A doctor was leaving home  to compete in a shooting competition held at Magnolia Pistol Range in Byram at approximately 7:45 AM today. He made several trips from the house to his truck carrying what he needed for the competition. Unknown to him, two black males were cruising Ridgewood Road looking for someone to rob. They happened upon him walking to his truck near the intersection of Ridgewood and Eastover roads.  They took him captive at gunpoint and forced him drive to an ATM and withdraw a large amount of money.  They also mentioned some intentions concerning his wife who was back at home.  Intentions that were not exactly nice in nature.

 They stopped at Eastover and Pinewood.  They told him to get out of the vehicle.  The good Doc managed to grab a pistol as he exited the truck and began firing.  He shot and killed an Edwin Robinson of Cooper Road.  One person at the scene  said "he shot the shit out of him".  The other suspect managed to run away and is currently at-large. It should be noted that there are woods on one side of the road. The suspect apparently had parked a tan SUV over at Northminister Baptist Church.  He ran to the church and left in the SUV. It did not have a license plate.


Kingfish note: While Mr. Routh argues his client has been in jail for far too long because he can't post bail, it should also be noted that Mr. Routh filed a motion for continuance.  The trial is set for October 10, 2016. Mr. Routh stated in his motion that he will be at a Continuing Legal Education Seminar from September 5 to October 1.  He states he won't be able to prepare for trial nor meet any of the legal deadlines.  No other public defenders can handle the case.  The prosecution agreed to the continuance.  Of course, if Mr. Kennedy went to trial on October 10, his case could be adjudicated and he could either go to prison or be set free.

Well, Routh has been caught lying to the court before, hasn't he?

If he is "indigent" then he will have a roof over his head, meals, medical care, etc in jail. Leave his sorry ass there!

"Dumb ass criminals", should look at bond schedule amounts before committing the crime. Now, they expect Grandma to bond their sorry ass out! Should have paid the ultimate price as his partner (DEATH).

You're the king-of-allegedly and forgot to use it?

If more people killed thugs like this, there would be a dramatic drop in crime. Just remember, empty the clip and drag them into your house before you call the cops.

I sure miss ol' Gutta.

he should be reindicted for capitol murder. a murder, albeit justified,was committed in this transaction during the perpetration of another inherently dangerous felony. in this case 2 inherently dangerous felonies, armed robbery and kidnapping. capitol murder can carry a death penalty, but jurors in hinds county are too chicken manure to impose a death penalty.

@8:09 @8:26 Did this murder happen in a government building or something? I don't remember that part.

This guy was active military. He's the perfect example of why I no longer have respect for U.S. Soldiers. The army will accept any thug. And the majority of today's army is made up of thugs.

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.
