Doctor Kidnapper: Guilty!

A Hinds County jury convicted Andre Kennedy of attempted kidnapping, armed robbery, and house burglary yesterday.  Kennedy and the late Edwin "Guttalife Dee" Robinson kidnapped a Northeast Jackson doctor at his home on May 15, 2015.  They robbed him and threatened to harm his wife.   The doctor managed to pull out a pistol from behind the seat of his vehicle and administer a lethal prescription of lead that sent Guttalife to the gutter while Kennedy fled so he wouldn't be dead. Kennedy will be sentenced on December 17.

Eastover Drive and Pinebrook


A doctor was leaving home  to compete in a shooting competition held at Magnolia Pistol Range in Byram at approximately 7:45 AM on May 16, 2015. He made several trips from the house to his truck carrying what he needed for the competition. Unknown to him, two black males were cruising Ridgewood Road looking for someone to rob. They happened upon him walking to his truck near the intersection Ridgewood and Eastover roads.  They took him captive at gunpoint and forced him drive to an ATM where they forced him to withdraw a large amount of money.  They also mentioned some intentions concerning his wife who was back at home.  Intentions that were not exactly nice in nature.

Andre Kenney


Kennedy and Robinson stopped at Eastover and Pinewood by some woods.  They told him to get out of the vehicle.  The good Doc managed to grab a pistol as he exited the truck and began firing.  He shot and killed Edwin "Guttalife Dee" Robinson of Cooper Road.  One person at the scene  said "he shot the shit out of him".   Kennedy fled the scene. The suspect apparently had parked a tan SUV over at Northminister Baptist Church.  He ran to the church and left in the SUV. It did not have a license plate. 

JPD caught Kennedy several days later thanks to tips provided by JJ readers and charged him with capital murder, armed robbery, and kidnapping.  However, the grand jury did not indict Kennedy for capital murder.   Kennedy was an MDOC employee at the time of the crime but was terminated by the department upon his arrest.   He was not indicted until February 2016, nine months later.

Learn more about Robinson at this earlier post.

The Late Edwin "Guttalife Dee" Robinson

Kingfish note: Unfortunately, the District Attorney chose not to pursue felony-murder charges against Kennedy.  Kennedy should be facing life in prison for the death of his fellow Guttalife instead of looking at a maximum of twenty years.   The death penalty is preferred for Kennedy but that would be almost impossible to get in Hinds County.

Sad for the doctor and his family. Deserved "day of crime judgment" for the kidnapper who found out his plans were poorly executed. 20 years from a Jackson Jury for the crime honestly is a surprise. Yes, he should have received more. I guess anymore you take what you can get and hope for the best.

Will the judge sentence him or will the jury?

It is a shame that ventilating violent democrats is such a civil rights issue that the news media must include the note that the good Doctor hasn't been charged for defending himself and his wife.

Looks like Guttalife Dee might have been an early member of Antifa, huh?

Oh, and you would think Mr. Kennedy would have received a harsher sentence for dismembering someone and taking the limb! After all, "arm" robbery is a pretty serious crime!

(Sheesh, even the criminal justice SUPPORT system is broken!)

Looks like the jury found him guilty of "arm robbery." Whose arm did he steal?

This is not an issue of race but more of an issue of the failures of capitalism. Medical treatment should be a right and not a profit driven business. The compensation of the labor is totally unequa. Corrections employees are given the dangerous task of guarding victims of class crimes that have incarcerated by the capitalist police state. These guards have a difficult and dangerous job that pays very little. The doctor should not be compensated any more for his labor than the MDOC employee is compensated. In a future of social and economic justice, the state will not allow illicit capital to flow to an undeserving individual like this doctor.

Kidnapping carries 30 years but the jury can sentence to life, armed robbery can carry up to life and house burglary carries 25. How is it you think he’s only getting 20?!

One can only hope JJ will remember to report on this case when it is reversed by the appellate courts in 18 months for the reversible errors assuredly made by Weill.

2:03 The populace needs the right to not be exposed to such goofy thought. Medical treatment as a right?! Who is going to pay for it?

You have the right to eat fried food, smoke, and be 200 lbs overweight. Don't ask me to pay for your medical care when you are irresponsible. I'll pay for my medical care, you pay for your medical care.

Actually thought this would be a "capital" murder offense since there was a death resulting from a felony?

Well at least you waited til after 2 to get into the crack. Congrats on your self restraint !

When the boomers aren't around to hate and vilify progress, we will finally see true social equality in both justiceand economics. The future is brown and tan and female. When the Most Selfish Generation is gone we will see real progress. Equal housing and employment will increase, and the information generation will no longer burdoned with the bloated boomer golden parachute pensions.

Quickly removing boomers is why we need radical change in access to medicine. Why should valuable health resources be wasted on the generation that is holding back equality and progress by voting against the interests of the future?

3.5 years for simple justice? WTF?

this punk should have be tried for capitol murder and the d a should have sought a death penalty. under our capitol murder law it matters not that the deceased was one of the criminal perpetrators.

SorryDoc, move out of Jackson. Eastover is not even safe. Its all a shit hole

Socialism sucks said...

so a medical doctor who spent years studying and training to save lives should be paid the same as a MDOC employee? Can I meet with you later and buy some of the 32 percent hydroponic kush you are obviously smoking?

And for the record, the best example of a socialist health care system model in America is the VA medical system, a system so broke and full of corruption, graft, and substandard care that they have had to farmed out patients to private doctors. So the evil for profit, fee for service system is propping up a pork barrel boondoggle. Do us all a favor and go back to being a community organizer in the bold new city, leave the hard stuff for the adults, Asshole.

socialism sucks said...

Dear social justice, you will be the first to cry when your socialized doctor refuses to see you cause it is after 4pm and they have seen their quota for the day, you will nash your teeth when a one payer system says that you can't get a diagnostic scan to make sure your flatulence isn't ass cancer, and you will bitch when your medicine formulary is restricted to only old generic meds that make the hair on your balls fall off. And instead of gleefully awaiting the death of the boomer generation, you should be thanking them for working so hard to pay all the taxes to date that have funded all your bullshit. When your generation takes over we will have nothing. I am sorry but I have had just about enough of people like you.

socialism sucks, thank you for your commentary. I am a disabled US Marine veteran. I go to a private doctor because of the inadequacy of the VA. I am in my 70s and hate to see some young Marx (Karl not Groucho) follower wish me dead. I did more for this country than he ever will. Bless you!

WLBT reported that he was on trial for capital murder. What gives?

Last thing Guttalife heard: BOOM, BOOM-BOOM-BOOM,.....BOOM! Then he no longer Guttalife. Wonder if he flashed his sign on the way down.

I thought Trump promised to fix the VA?

7:13am makes a good point, but the problem is that the d a 's office is too chicken manure to go after a death sentence and hinds county juries are too chicken manure to impose one.

I have to go back often to reread this story - - really gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

this defendant was a guard with MDOC on the state payroll when he pulled this stunt.

The jury in this case voted on the charges. The judge sentenced the defendent.

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.
