Attorney General Jim Hood issued the following press release:
JACKSON—Attorney
General Jim Hood announced today that 39-year-old Donald Turner, of
Clinton, was convicted on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm,
aggravated domestic violence, and
shooting into an occupied vehicle.
Also known as Darnell “Slick” Turner, he was found guilty by a Hinds County trial jury Thursday
on one count of each charge. He was arrested in April 2016 after being
indicted for beating the
then-22-year-old mother of one of his children, shooting into the car
she was in, and dragging her to a bridge where he strangled her before
suspending her over the railing. After Turner left the scene in the
Washington Addition neighborhood in Jackson, he
returned and assaulted a person who was trying to assist the initial
victim. He then drove the mother of his child home while continuing to
beat her.
“This
heinous act of strangling a woman while dangling her over a bridge
deserves maximum punishment,” said General Hood. “Domestic violence is a
serious offense. I’m glad to see that a Hinds
County jury recognized that fact and stood for protecting other victims
of domestic violence. This should send a strong message to other
offenders.”
The
Attorney General’s Office received this case after Hinds County
District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith recused himself due to an
admission in open court that he previously represented Turner
and that Turner visited him in his home.
Hinds County Circuit Court Judge Jeff Weill, Sr. scheduled a sentencing hearing for 1:00 p.m. on October 17. Turner faces up to 45 years in prison.

So if slick hadn't held her over a bridge and just strangled her in the car he wouldn't have gotten maximum punishment????
Good riddance to bad rubbish! Happy Trails!!
Note to self.
The next time I decide to strangle a woman do not hold her over a bridge railing.
Great work guys, one and all! IMB
Maybe Jeff Smith will help him? You
Wish ya coulda been there Mike! Too bad RSS has SO many thug conflicts; "you lie with dogs, you gonna rise with fleas".
Yeah he's slick alright - slicker than owl $h*t on a barbed wire fence, so lock his @$$ up. It also sounds like he's been reading Suge Knight's manual on conflict resolution...
Is it just me, or is Jim Hood clearly attempting to "show" the public he's "doing" something with all these low-level convictions? (i.e. insurance fraud, murders, etc.) Yes they are crimes that need addressing, but what has Hood EVER done for the STATE of Mississippi?? NOTHING as a systemic whole - because he's part of the corrupted Old Miss plantation that keeps the money flowing to Oxford. WHY people keep voting for all these good ole' boys/girls is an absolute mystery......except for the fact that the local media outlets promote these scumbags all day long because.....wait for it: THEY are connected to the Old Miss plantation owners as well. So the citizens are treated like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed horse manure. Sigh.
@6:09 we all know it's you Tate. Don't be so scared, he hasn't announced yet. Sheesh.
The rumor was that Turner was Robert Smith's "enforcer" who was sent on missions to confront his enemies
why would the DA have such a person visit him in his home?
You people do know the difference between Robert Shuler Smith and Frank Melton don'tcha? Smith has not yet been elected mayor.
@ 6:09 Hood has allowed John Mosely and his body shop cronies to run amuck and price fix and collude among themselves all while running the insurance companies in the ground. Hood wont bat an eye as Mosely lets him use his planes for his campaign and travel.
Bye THUG! Your actions, no one else's, prove you can't function within a "free" society! Lets see how many men you beat like you did this woman in lock up. Let's see. Vermin! Pure, vermin!
@609
Are you mentally challenged. How is this or a murder a "low level conviction". You are clearly in the Robert Smith camp. You may even be one of tha ADAs that keep losing cases. How about addressing the fact that the AGs office get more convictions percentage wise than Smith's office.
How did Slick afford Dennis Sweet and Terris Harris as defense counsel?
to 6:09... on sept 11..... wow , that quite a rant. tell me, what ole miss plantation are you enslaved on?
