Jackson Jambalaya

Now, what is Carlos the Clown's next move in this fiasco?

Sanity in Jackson? Hell just froze over.

I picked a hell of a day to quit drinking...

I was hoping it would be over by 11:01, but I'll take 11:14!

I'm not an attorney, don't even play one on TV. What exactly does this mean? Does it mean it's over?

What bearing (if any) does this mean as far as the wrongful death lawsuit that has been filed? It is my hope that it goes away. I've seen the video....and realize that rational conclusions escape a lot of people (jurors in Jackson). I would hate for this man to be found liable for anything.

A remand technically means the case is put aside but could be revived, sometimes subject to certain conditions (such as future charges against defendant, violation of certain conditions, etc.). Realistically, this means the criminal case is done. The prosecutor would not remand the charge unless they had a strong reason to believe they cannot get a verdict or maybe at the request of the victim (which is doubtful in this case). What effect does this have on the wrongful death case? Technically, nothing. There are different standards in civil vs. criminal cases (though a conviction would have helped the civil case tremendously).

Why in hell would this wait until THE DAY OF? It's that laziness, ignorance or arrogance?

He should push for more.....

Move to dismiss the charges with prejudice.

Good thing it was before Kidd instead of Weill. Because Weill doesn’t let the prosecutors remand to files. And of course, y’all applaud

Thank you, Judge Kidd. You did the obviously correct thing in this case. I hope the judge in the civil trial does the same thing, or if he/she sends it to the jury, that the jurors will do the right thing, too. God bless and protect Mr. Parish and his family.

Correct 2:11. Weill might well not have let this be remanded but required it to be dismissed due to it being the crap that it is. Might have meant that it wouldn't be through in the first 15 minutes, but it would be removed from the record totally. I am sure RSS was more worried about getting his case across the river delayed and knew that there was no way to defend this deal, so 'remanding' was an easy out. Not saying that if I were Parrish I wouldn't accept and walk away, but if it had gone to trial there was a lot of dirty laundry that would have been aired, and none of it was Parrish's.

Or is it a fact that the judge cannot remand until the actual day of the trial?

I have no words. An unarmed black kid is gunned down and the white man that pulled the trigger gets to walk free. Feels like we’re living back in the 1960’s. This is so ****ing outrageous! What the hell is wrong with letting a jury look at the evidence and make a determination? Oh yeah that’s right, you racists on this blog probably wouldn’t have liked the verdict.

So has Mr. Parish been incarcerated this entire time or out on bond?

A black judge remanded it. The only reason the case stayed on life support was RSS pandering to the radical crowd looking for a payment.

Do you think Donna has watched the video yet?

It didn't take long for this to deteriorate into name-calling.


As a wise man once said, "Keep ****ing that chicken."

Dear Justice for Tyrion - If every charge in Jackson went to trial, your brothers would be in trouble. Hell, they are getting released on a daily basis.

Too little to late

Justice for Troll: the gig is up bud. Just say no to trolling and do something productive with the time you have left on this earth.

Glad to see that Second Amendment rights are upheld. Thugs can not be allowed to rule.

Messick; I have been up all night searching and cannot find any wise man ever saying "Keep ****ing that chicken".

JFT, stop typing when you have no words.

1/30 3:05 AM: I'm pretty sure it was Omar from The Wire.

So...Justice For Tyromes; If 'an unarmed black kid' who is quite agile and stronger and faster than I am who comes at me in an attempt to wrest my gun from me and I'm fairly certain this 'unarmed black kid' will kill me and continue on his mission of stealing my car....I have no right to blow his punk-ass away?

'You People' have an odd 'code of behavior' and an indefensible way of evaluating situations. But, all participants on the blog-site must remember that you see everything through the prism and filter of race. Nothing else much matters.

Do us all a favor and change your screen name from JFT to WTF.

I was being a bit sarcastic when I said "wise", but here ya go:

The man needs determination by a court that this was self defense so as to shield him from any wrongful death suits by the family of the "victim" (and I use that term loosely).

I heard DA. Smith say now he wants to look into the facts of the case in the best interest blah blah blah What the hell facts then did your apparently and admittedly uninformed ass present to the grand jury that indicted this man and ruined his life.

I’m not picking at old sores but I find it telling that Mr Smith filed a Motion to Remand with the court in this case but refused to file a similar motion to remand in Christopher Butler even after being requested to file it by Judge Weill .

So, does anyone know what Mr. Parish's legal bills amount to, by now? Is there a chance of his recovering those costs? Or is he RUINED?

My brothers you need to wake up and train, nourish and love your kids so this won't continue to happen! I cannot Imagine Mr Parish woke that morning thinking this is the day He was going to shoot and kill a human being.

I'm looking out over my back yard thinking if an individual tried to break in my back door! I would call WDAM, confront him with my arsenal of weapons, subdue him, let him call his mother to tell her good bye, pray together and then put his lights out.

If you don't tell your children the many dangers of breaking into a persons home i.e. Property, then you are wrong.

On the other hand, I would just scare him away so he could just break into another persons residence, rob, rape and kill their love ones.

No, I am not a judge, jury or God. But I'll have to think really fast to not end up like Mr Parish.
