Remy Harvey was sentenced to serve 25 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to kidnapping, armed robbery, and carjacking yesterday in Hinds County Circuit Court. He was only 13 years old when he and 16 years-old Eddie Devine kidnapped and raped a woman at gunpoint at Hallmark Gardens Apartments in April 2014.

His boy, Eddie Devine, was sentenced to serve 35 years in prison two years ago. Devine was also convicted of carjacking a woman at Dogwood on December 23, 2015.
A Hinds County grand jury indicted Harvey in November 2014. The five-count indictment charged him with forcible rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault, armed carjacking, and sexual battery. Harvey underwent a mental evaluation before he pleaded guilty this week. He pleaded guilty to rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated assault with a gun, and armed carjacking.
Circuit Judge Bill Gowan sentenced him to serve 40 years in prison but suspended 15 years of the sentenced. He also ordered him to serve supervised probation for five years upon release. Harvey was indicted for an August 2016 escape from jail but that charge was remanded to the file.

Well good for his little wormy, chicken-shit, ass. Maybe this will teach him a lesson. Hope he can still walk a straight line when he gets out. Urchins. Worthless. Incorrigible.
Middle name Magic. Something went awry with that.
Why don't you give credit to, or identify the prosecutor? Oh it's Hinds County, got to report without giving that office credit.
In other not covered news, AG got a hung jury in the Christopher Butler trial. So 0-2?
If he is derailed at the age of 13, I seriously doubt he will ever be able to get back on the tracks. But I bet the horny little devil will find a companion in jail
I'm sorry but that kid is only 13 years old and way to young to be thrown in jail that long. Why was he tried as an adult in the first place? I know he did wrong but think about his poor mother who will probly be dead by the time he gets out. A child that young can't think and make choices like an adult. Just another black kid doing hard time wher some white kid would get probatin for the same crime.
Even though it's no consolation to the victim, I have a feeling he will have plenty of opportunities to know what it feels like to get raped...
Can he read and write?
so much for 'soft on crime hinds county'
@ 3:23 (Justice for Trayvon), your retarded. I love your skittles name. You, along with these "kids", are what's wrong with society. One) his mother more than likely wasn't around or was on that jacktown crack. Two) have you by chance seen all the "thuggin" pictures of your skittles boy? Three) Hinds County judicial system is a white mans, white womans, and white kids nightmare. Anyone other than a black person in Hinds County judicial system is in for quite a ride, physically and literally. They just messed up so bad they had to go away, first applause ever given for Hinds County courts on this one.
Read again....what these two did. They didn't randomly do this. One "kid" had already committed a serious crime. Then tried to escape.
These two are the TRUE definition of fresh meat.

Nice try, Justice for Trayvon - I don't think you're gonna get any takers here...this board tends to side with the REAL victims. The way I see it, it's a good thing that he got caught this young, less victims on the outside.
When you name a kid after the bottle of yac you were sippin on the night of conception, can you really be surprised when he goes to jail before his 18th Bday?
@ 4:54, perfectly put. Actually victims. Judged not by their race or age. But by how horrible and stupid their crimes are. Come at me with any race, I'll judge it by the crime, background, and age. I'd condem a white man or kid for the same thing all day. But I forget, we live in little Detroit, we are the minority. All whites are racist. Sarcasm for the few. I am white and far beyond racist.

What 13 y/o kid thinks rape is legal?
You couldn't even get his name right, you moron. Guess it doesn't matter to the labotamized drove of drooling racists who read this blog. All y'all need is to see a black kid in prison. They're all the same anyway, right?
3:23 @ Justice for Trayvon thinks a 13yr old in 2017 or in even 2000 or 1980, or 1900's..has no idea what rape is and doesn't understand a gun can kill someone or make them bend to your will and then uses one to rape someone AFTER kidnap etc...just a lil innocent kid..not knowing what choices he's making..forgot to put "black" in there cause like I said...only whites are racist nowadays.

Good God, at 13 I would not have known where to even start. Different cultures i suppose
3:23:
So readers just want to see a black kid in jail, eh?
Did you see the part about kidnapping at gunpoint and rapes/assaults? Do you have a wife or sister or girlfriend or aunt etc? If so, there are amny more 13yo black teens you can take in under your roof and 'mentor'.
Does a 13 year old even have pubic hair?
@3:23 (Justice for Trayvon)
Read "after he pleaded guilty to kidnapping, armed robbery, and carjacking" and blame this on racism.
I'm 64 and I can say that at 13 I was about as naive about many things in life as a person could be, but I did know that kidnapping, armed robbery and taking a car (or anything) that did not belong to me would get me in serious trouble. This thug just felt entitled to do as he pleased. He knew better. Now he has to pay the piper. I don't give a rat's ass what color his skin is or that he is a young teen. He knew what to do with his Johnson so he needs to be treated as an adult. Sad thing is he'll probably be back on the streets before he's 25 and will do it all over again.
justice for Trayvon that was some great trolling you make it looks so easy.
When you're named after an alcoholic beverage or car (Mercedes) I wonder immensely about your future... Ladies, stop this foolishness!!! 😡
I'm too old to remember said...
Does a 13 year old even have pubic hair?
But young enough to still say stupid things.
" Just another black kid doing hard time wher some white kid would get probatin for the same crime."
Name one white kid who pleaded guilty to the same charges and skated away.
We'll wait, liar.
I'm always amazed reading your comments KF. Now just 2 days ago you had commenters up in arms because a white child pornographer got 40 years. I bet some of those same commenters are ok with this kid going away for 25 years. Man we got a long way to go with this race thing! And no one can tell me it's not a racial thing. We tend to side with people that look like us. I'm fine with that. I just wish others would recognize it as well.
It's not a race thing.
It would be nice if age was related to intellectual and emotional maturity, mental health and knowledge.
The above comments make it painfully clear that is not the case.
It's starting to feel a lot like 1862 on this page...
Because I let people get stupid?
I think this case triggers some raw emotions. Think of the crime itself. Woman is robbed, beaten, kidnapped, carjacked, and raped. It was pretty damn brutal. Savage. Then you find out the perps were 13 and 16 years old. The 16 year old does it again and again until Rankin got ahold of his ass. The 13 year old acts like an animal when caught. Watch the video.
People see all of this and are outraged, disgusted. They want to lash out and vent their outrage. We saw something like this happen 20 years ago with Giles Bryant's murder where one of the killers was 13.
Does that child have a fully formed adult power of reasoning? Nope. I will agree with you on that one. However, look at his feral state. Can you rehabilitate him? I don't know. What we do know is in that state and given the savage nature of the crimes, he should not be returned to society for quite some time. I have no problem with a 15-20 year sentence.
Now, how do you rehabilitate someone that young so he changes his ways? I don't know the answer. Smarter people than me will no doubt have plenty of suggestions and I'm willing to listen to them but he is currently a danger to society right now and that is what we have to deal with in court.
Kingfish -- I would only add two of the many components of the victims' statement, to what you have said in your post. These "descriptions" by the victim substantiate the feral nature of the attack --
"A 29-year-old woman told officers she was raped three times by the younger of two teenage boys during the course of a carjacking and kidnapping, according to a Jackson police report...............During the attack, the woman was raped with a gun and an ice pick, according to the report."
Note that our "child" had no issues at 13 raping her 3 times, and in addition, both our "children" used an ice pick and gun to rape her with......she was taken to UMMC. As a woman I cannot imagine the emotional fear, and physical scarring that took place in that attack.
At a MINIMUM -- to undo 13 years of how this young man was reared, would take at least that long (13 years of intense counseling) and possibly twice that (26?) -- you'd have to undo year for year at a minimum ----so 25 years might be adequate to work on undoing each of his first 13 years of life, and reforming him........personally, I don't think it could happen because you would literally have to take him from birth to 13 again and institute a sense of morality, but you never know.
For those posting about the length of this sentence and the length of time he was given. Tell me if you'd want your wife or mother or sister or daughter, alone with this "child" after reading the victim's descriptions.
@ Kingfish - I hate you used the term feral - because we use that for wild domestic animals.
But I agree with you on the question - how can you rehabilitate someone that is capable of doing those crimes at that age?
It's obvious he could care less about the consequences.
He needs deep psychological evaluation during his prison stay.
He probably threw toad frogs against brick walls too. I chased down and stomped crickets on the sidewalk. There are signs that predict this kind of behavior.
Wheres the video KF?
11:14 -- did you rape a woman WITH your GUN or an ICE PICK, at a young age (that would be inserting it into her sexually and without consent which is what she told the police happened) -- if so, maybe you need some intense counseling also but something tells me you didn't exhibit this type of behavior....you are probably a relaxed, solid guy, whom others like and respect, even with the cricket issue........I'm sure there were behaviors early on with this young man -- but they were probably based on ROLE MODELING and LEARNED behavior. Curious if that can be undone and I sadly believe it cannot. Feral?? Even in nature there are animals that cannot be socialized.........hence we have to make the choice to protect ourselves and society at large. Cannot save everyone and do not get caught up in saving the one lost sheep while we forget the other 99 out there.........it's a great idea in the abstract but probably has ended us where we are today, talking about a 13 year old who raped a woman with a gun and ice pick.
the word "feral" is absolutely appropriate in context with this cretin criminal.
that woman is lucky she is alive because this criminal sounds like a complete lack of human reasoning and will probably graduate to homicide given time, even in prison.
I'd shoot the two little bastards now and save us all a ton of tax dollars.
10:52 - no, it's obvious that he could not care less about the consequences.
I hope someone rapes this little bastard with an ice pick in prison.
@1:54
I think @ 10:52's comment meant it is an insult to real feral animals to compare them to this Piece Of S*&t.
There are two kinds of people (in this context). Those who really feel for the child and want to see him rehabilitated and cut some slack...And those who don't give a rip-shit about the little bastard (literally) and just want him locked away from civil society for as long as possible.
Please put me in the second column.
KF, sadly, there are children born much younger than this who are violent and lack any empathy. If children are not touched and held and nurtured during infancy ( as seen in the Romanian orphanage studies) , this can happen. There is evidence as well that sociopaths are born, not made.
I'm outraged too. I don't ,however, use the sad reality of defective or dysfunctional humans as examples to stereotype an entire race.
I don't support those who incite violence or are violent towards others simply because they belong to a group of which I'm a member, be it a religious , political, ethnic or family group.
And, I certainly, don't see the world in black and white, either/or terms like 5:47 am. I can feel for the child as he may have been made, not created and still want him locked away to protect society. I can want him helped if he can be helped so his life isn't a complete waste.
In their ignorance, they don't understand that every single one of them could have a sociopath born into their family tree or have already had one.
Compassion has zero deterrence value. ZERO.
1:47 pm Perhaps, but it can have prevention value.
There is no question that a long list of people knew long before this happened that these individuals were trouble. As early as birth, there can be bellwethers of problems to come. It's not just the long term implications of development associated with things like " crack babies" , but when the mother shows no interest in the child and doesn't want to hold them , it's a predictor.
And, then there are all the neighbors, teachers, and social workers who were likely involved as well as court systems.
We say " the children are our future" and then we do little to insure they have a future and if a future is impossible because the damage can't be repaired, we don't protect society from them.
But, you don't want to pay taxes for treatment facilities or to safely medicate warehouse them.
10:03 AM, If the perps were using a gun and an ice pick, rather than their own "equipment", to rape the woman, then I'd say you'd ALSO need to worry about them being alone with your sons (and yourself, and your grandfathers, and...).
