Cops Indicted for Murder

A Hinds County grand jury indicted Lincoln Lampley, Desmond Barney, and Anthony Fox for second degree murder in the death of George Robinson on January 13, 2019.

The three officers encountered Robinson during a search. SWAT team members and K-9 unit searched a house on Jones Street looking for a suspect in the murder of Pastor Anthony Longino. They allegedly pulled Robinson out of his vehicle and arrested him on a misdemeanor charge.  Witnesses said police struck Robinson in the head with a flashlight. Family members told WAPT that UMMC doctors said Robinson died of head trauma. Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart ruled his death was a homicide after he died of blunt-force traum to the head.  The indictment states:

on, about and between the 13th day of January, 2019, and the 14th day of January, 2019, in the county aforesaid and within the jurisdiction of this Court, the said defendant being a male human being above the age of eighteen (18) years, whose date of birth is April 21, 1987, did willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously, without any premeditated design to effect the death of George Robinson, did kill George Robinson, a male human being, without the authority of law by any means or in any manner during the commission of an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved heart, regardless of human life; to-wit: Lindon Chalmers Lampley, while serving as a City of Jackson Police Officer and/or while acting in concert and/or aiding, assisting or encouraging City of Jackson Police Officer Anthony Gerald Fox and/or City of Jackson Police Officer Desmond Marcellous Barney, used physical force on George Robinson, causing George Robinson's death, which included physically removing him from his vehicle, body slamming George Robinson head first into the roadway pavement as well as striking and kicking George Robinson multiple times in the head and chest, all acts, whether occurring individually and/or cumulatively, that were eminently dangerous to George Robinson and evincing a depraved heart, regardless of human life, all occurring within the jurisdiction of this court.....
The family of George Robinson issued the following statement:

As the family of George Robinson, we are pleased that the Jackson Police Officers involved in his death have finally been charged with murder.  For us, the charges prove that George's life mattered and no one deserves to die the way he did.  We are grateful that the District Attorney has taken this action.  We have cooperated with the District Attorney's investigation in every way and will continue to do so until we finally get justice for our beloved George.
 Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba chimed in with his own statement.

Our administration is committed to ensuring that Jacksonians have an accountable police department.  As part of our accountability process, the City of Jackson has implemented a policy to turn all cases involving officer involved deaths over to the DA for review by a grand jury. The Hinds County grand jury indictments, issued today, begin another phase of the process. In the full spirit of transparency, the administration will continue to monitor the situation and provide information to the public throughout each phase.  We ask that you keep all those affected by this tragedy the in your prayers.
 All three officers are black. Fox and Barney are now Clinton police officers.  Lampley is still employed at JPD.

Just FYI... any police involved Use of force death gets (and has gotten so simmer down lemumble)at least 3 separate investigations, that agency’s internal investigation, an outside agency(usually MBI who turns it over to the DAs office) and the FBI...

Kingfish said...

MBI is not involved. It withdrew from Jackson investigations after the Mayor refused to back down over identifying officers involved in shootings.

Hopefully, Jackson will elect a different and better mayor next year.

@ 10:12 - Hopefully I'll spot a unicorn in my back yard before daybreak.

So officers are on their on in thugville. If the Mayor chooses to indict you he will. Nobody will help. All the officers need to leave and go to work other places. This place is no place to work.

Steve said...

Use of force, ie “color of law” violations do not NECESSARILY invoke an FBI investigation..

Ex-Fed

Wow. I didn't realize MBI hasn't been involved for 2 years. https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/local/2018/10/15/lumumba-policy-jpd-mbi-no-officer-involved-shooting-investigations/1652473002/

Didn’t realize MBI was so political.

When the facts come out about this case, these police officers will be free to go. Hope they sue the shit out of Jackson.

This ain't these fellows first rodeo, it's never the crime it's the cover up that gets you. Somebody is doing time on this one.

Seems like more of the same crap Robert Scumbag Smith pulled on LEOs. Hinds County is and has been in a total meltdown. I was hoping Jody Owens would do the right thing but seems like he will continue with the same self destructive tactics. If you are a cop or a law abiding citizen, stay the hell out of hinds County. Just watch it burn from the borders.

I don't represent these officers, but I'm very familiar with the facts of this case. All three will be exonerated. This are frivolous indictments obtained by a lazy prosecutor, who obviously didn't present the mountain of exculpatory evidence to the grand jury.

Not surprising that Jody did this. Dennis Sweet is representing the family and is connected to Jody. Sweet wanted this indictment and needs a conviction to up his suit against the city. Dennis Jr, Antar and Jody are all close friends. What that means is Dennis Sweet runs Jackson and Hinds County. Sad!

Anonymous said...

It could be a political move to quell any protests that could have risen from not presenting it to the grand jury

Close? Dennis is he uncle.

The CL is more worried about flags in Carroll County.

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.
