Pearl man gets life for trying to kill wife.

Rankin-Madison District Attorney Michael Guest issued the following press release.




Pearl Man Receives Life plus 30 Year Sentence after Kidnapping and Attempting to Kill his Wife

Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Michael Guest announced today that Richard Lamar Green was sentenced this week to serve life in prison plus 30 years after a jury found him guilty of kidnapping and attempting to murder his wife following his trial in March.

Wife-beater
 On October 1, 2014, the Pearl Police Department received a 911 call that Green had attacked his wife and that she was in need of immediate medical help. Police responded to the home, 403 Ivy Court, where they found Mrs. Green lying on the floor of the family room bleeding profusely. Police and emergency personnel began to treat the victim and observed that she had been struck numerous times in the head with an object later determined to be a machete. Police also observed that one of the victim’s fingers had been severed during the attack. The victim was then transported to UMMC where she was treated for a traumatic brain injury.

It was determined that the victim’s husband, Richard Green, had fled the area in a silver GMC Envoy and had taken their 4 year old child with him. Pearl Police contacted the Mississippi Highway Patrol and an Amber Alert was issued for the missing child.

A truck driver, who had received the alert, contacted law enforcement to report that he had seen the defendant’s vehicle and the child at a truck stop in Bogue Chitto. The caller was able to alert law enforcement that Green was traveling toward Louisiana.

The Highway Patrol then notified the Pike County Sheriff’s Department who was able to stop and apprehend Green before he crossed into Louisiana. The child was found in the back of the vehicle and was unharmed.

Green was transported to Rankin County and was interviewed by investigators of the Pearl Police Department. Green admitted to law enforcement that he and his wife had gotten into an argument at their home. He then told officers that he went outside and retrieved a machete from his vehicle and then reentered the home where he forced his wife to the family room and struck her numerous times with the machete.

Guest stated, “Green is a violent and abusive individual who viciously attacked his wife in the presence of their 4 year old child. Because of the combined efforts of the Pearl Police Department, Mississippi Department of Public Safety, the Pike County Sheriff’s Department and the Brookhaven Police Department, Green will now spend the remainder of his life behind bars.”

Guest added, “Richard Green was taken into custody and a 4 year old child was returned home safely because a citizen responded to an Amber Alert issued in this case. The Amber Alert system is an invaluable tool that allows law enforcement to quickly push information out to the public in cases where children are at risk. I encourage everyone that receives an Amber Alert to be on the lookout for the vehicle or persons listed in the alert and to report anything they feel would be helpful to law enforcement.”

Guest concluded, “Cathy Green has used this tragic event in her life to educate and help others who may be involved in violent domestic relationships. Since her attack she has volunteered her time in domestic violence shelters and crisis centers and has spoken to numerous groups sharing the story of her life. Cathy has also been awarded the Image of Resilience Award by the Mississippi Coalition against Domestic Violence.”

Green has numerous misdemeanor convictions of Domestic Assault or Domestic Violence. Court records show Green was previously been convicted of Domestic Battery in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1996. Green was also been convicted of Domestic Assault in Biloxi in 2002 and convicted of Domestic Assault in Harrison County in 2005.

District Attorney Michael Guest was sworn into office in January 2008 and represents the Twentieth Judicial District, Madison and Rankin Counties. For more information regarding the District Attorney’s office, please visit www.daguest.com, follow us on Facebook and download our app, da guest.

Rankin County is lost.

Move to Jackson, where people can leave their kids in a running car at midnight and they won't get kidnapped 99% of the time.

Why on God's green earth would anyone want to download the Madison/Rankin District Attorney's app?

God bless her. I hope she has recovered emotionally and physically, and thankful that her child was not harmed.
Who just happens to have a machete in their car?? He is obviously a sick and dangerous man who does not need to be released to harm others.

I have a machete in my car but, I use it to cut down tall underbrush when doing site walks for projects.

Amber Alerts save lives. What a senseless tragedy, yet another in a growing, disturbing list of horrific events from the past few weeks in Mississippi. Who are we?!

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.
