Driver in Fortification Street Murder Gets 30 Years

Nicholas Coats will spend the next 30 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the death of Chelsie Kirschten.  The 24 year-old woman was shot to death on Fortification Street on August 17, 2017.  Hinds County Circuit Judge Jeff Weill sentenced Coats to serve forty years in prison but suspended ten years of the sentence.


Chelsie Kirschten
 The grand jury indicted Coats, Lidarius Dixon, and Jushun Paige for capital murder, armed robbery, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.  Coats admitted to driving the other suspects to the scene of the murder. The police report stated Nicholas Coats said "Red and Twin got into the Jeep"  He drove down Congress and saw Kirschten's white Pontiac G6 GT.  Coats said Dixon  jumped  out  of  his car  with  a  silver  revolver  and  fired the weapon into the Pontiac as  he  approached  the driver's side window.  Kirschten drove off but suddenly died as she drove down Fortification Street.  The vehicle crashed near the I-55 overpass.

Paige and Dixon have not yet gone to trial.  Judge Weill leaves the bench at the end of the year.  Circuit Judge-Elect Adrienne Whooten will assume his caseload.  Attorney Damon Stephenson represented Coats. He will serve a supervised probation term of five years upon release from prison.

When does he get out? 30 years doesn't mean he serves 30.

He's a punk and will be the prison bitch after about five minutes. Notice the obligatory "tough thug" look in the photo? Nah, without a gun he's a sissy bitch.

The judge gave him 10-years off because he is also a snitch.

IF Damon was smart he’d withdraw the guilty plea and plead in front of the new judge. The state was willing to offer less time even against the families wishes.. Watch and see...

Remind me. Was this random or was there a back story?

The back story presented in discovery is that the defendants were at a dice game, ran out of money, then when looking for more. Saw victims leaving George Street and followed them to fortification. The vehicles were caught on the Supreme Court building cameras and various other cameras in the area. With the cameras and defendants cell phone pings they were able to track them to crime scene location. So it was a robbery gone bad.

Jeff Weill is at work?

Robbery gone bad my ass. It was a hate crime.

I've never heard that (but not doubting you) 7:08. On this Blog we kept seeing speculative chatter about a drug deal but there was zero evidence of anything like that. Just glad they were caught and convicted, both of which are rather surprising, considering...

I don't know if this was a federal prosecution or not, but, if not, why not?

Robbery Gone = BS said...

Calling this a "robbery gone bad" is like saying 9/11 was a series of airline accidents.

It was murder, not "felony murder," but MURDER!

So if he keeps his nose clean in jail he should be out before he turns fifty. Thanks Feel and Andy Gibson for HB 585

KF, was it random like what @7:08 said? All we knew before was what Mary Pason @9:46 said. Lots of the pro-Jackson sheeple insisted it wasn't random. If I recall, they told us the shooter had been in the backseat of her car, got out, and then shot her.

Thanks to kingfishes history lesson we now know if these boys had pulled this 100 years ago they would all be swanging from the bridge.

This boy executed this woman ,why has he not been given death.

@6:46 PM, because in Jackson he is a member of a protected and entitled class.

The class has felt entitled ever since they get free money free housing free food. Dependant state society. I use to install direct TV and I was never shocked that the nicest largest screens were always in some crappy low income areas or apartments. High dollar shoes lined up with nice clothes. Anyway I guess it's true what they say a poor man has a big TV a wealthy man has a big library.

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.
