Wrapping up the RSS trial

Here are some odds and ends  about the Robert Shuler Smith trial that ended last week.


WAPT interviewed the Jury Forewoman.  She said a JPD employee was on the jury and well, you can watch the video for yourself.



There are several questions that should be asked.  Did the woman lie to get on the jury? Did either side ask if anyone was in law enforcement? The juror's actions should be investigated and she should be prosecuted. Period. Somehow, the mistrial was a fitting end to the whole episode.  The trial became convoluted.  Weeds sprang up and entangled jurors, witnesses, and lawyers alike.  One wondered at times if the trial was about Christopher Butler's drug case, Ivon Johnson's bribery case, or somewhere lost in everything, the actual charges against the District Attorney.  Friday's food fight between Too Sweet, Charlie Brown, and Tony Davis was probably the low point of the trial as one wondered "why are we here?"  

Here is some remaining video of John Reeves and Charlie Brown that was not posted.



Attorney John Reeves admitted on the stand that the D.A. was going to make him a special prosecutor.  Mr. Reeves's duty would would be to present indictments against Assistant Attorney Generals Patrick Beasley and Shaun Yurtkuran to the grand jury.  Charlie Brown continued the "he's lying meme" that constituted the Too Sweet-Charlie Brown-Tony Davis food fight.

I just visited the link posted above and am wondering what the hell it has to do with the case at hand. Well, other than NOTHING.

Don't see what they have to do with trial but ok.

Sounds like from Johnny's testimony there is a real element of doubt whether or not the two AGOs would have been indicted and that the issue had not been determined. It will be hard to unring that bell.

The most ridiculous part of this testimony really has nothing to do with RSS's trial, although if true it shows RSS's stupidity. Getting Johnny Reeves to be a special prosecutor to deal with 'public corruption, and campaign finance violations" was laughable. Although Johnny Boy probably could know where to look - over his years in the legislature, he never filed a complete and honest campaign finance report, either regarding his contributions or his disbursements. Particularly, his disbursements.

In fact, some of these 'character witnesses' for RSS (Charlie Brown, Tony Davis, et.al.) probably were receipants of some of Johnny's campaign spending.

Your co-host on WYAB today KF is dead wrong about Hood hurting his potential gubernatorial effort in 2019. As long as they aren't getting paid Black Democrats will fall in line and vote lock step for the Donkey every single time.

6:21. So funny that Johnny Reeves is in bed with Charles Brown, Tony Davis, Linda Brune, Charlotte Reeves, et al. Class all the way.

The real story here is Judge Gowan's involvement. He and Reeves tried to help a lunatic DA indict a sitting circuit judge and now they both are trying to cover their tracks. How could Smith's defense be that Weill and AG conspired to stop their own indictments when Reeves said he was appointed by Gowan to present these cases at the grand jury and Reeves had not decided whether to indict AGs and had "never heard" of the plan to indict Weill. Stay tuned for more as Gowan's corruption is exposed. Will the DA indict Reeves for perjury if there is a Johnson recording of this meeting?

I heard Hood is wrapping it up. He has fired at least one of the prosecutors on the Smith case.

This case is a waste of taxpayers' money and a complete waste of judicial time. If you want to convict Robert Smith, wait for him to take some money or sale some drugs or something that citizens care about. The three charges the Attorney General is going forward on are bogus allegations that no one cares about. The judicial system is full of crooks.

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.
