Shooter of Brad Sullivan Wants to Move Trial

 The shooter of Madison County Deputy Brad Sullivan wants to move his trial to another county.  

A Madison County grand jury indicted Edgar Egbert for attempted first degree murder, kidnapping, and felony evasion on August 5.   Egbert allegedly met his ex-wife and her friend at Walgreens in Jackson.  Egbert allegedly kidnapped her male friend and took him to his isolated Madison County home.  He chained the victim to the bed.  The ex-wife reported the kidnapping to the police. 

Egbert saw deputies arrive at his home and fled in his Jeep Wrangler.  A high-speed chase took place but deputies managed to stop the vehicle by throwing spike strips in its path.  The defendant was stopped but not done as the former Marine proceeded to pull out a full-automatic rifle and fire (allegedly) 90 rounds at the deputies.  Two rounds struck Deputy Brad Sullivan in the head while another deputy was struck in the arm.  Sullivan barely survived and spent months recovering in the hospital.  

Egbert moved for a change of venue yesterday in Madison County Circuit Court.   The motion states: 

The incident that lead to Mr. Egbert’s indictment was sensational, front-page news throughout the central Mississippi area and resulted in a public outpouring of support for law enforcement. Media attention on this case has been pervasive, widespread, and ongoing.
He cite twelve examples of media articles and social media posts to bolster his claim that he can not get a fair trial in Madison County and its adjacent counties.  Egbert asked the Court to move the trial to a county with similar demographics that is far enough away that he can get a fair trial.

Attorney J. Michael Duncan represents the defendant.

He'll have to move that one to the moon in order to get an impartial jury.

They should move it to Texas. They still execute folks there. I bet they would not mind finding a killer from Mississippi guilty.

What were Egbert's plans, regarding his ex-wife's friend?

And did he have a history of substance abuse? Did he have any substance(s) in his system, at the time of this incident?

Was Egbert on an antidepressant? In stories like this one, the mainstream media will omit this detail, usually, since drug companies are their biggest advertisers.

Attn 2:59 Who did he kill?

I disagree with the 2 thugs at 11:12 and 2:59. Executing people unlawfully is murder. Advocating for murder makes you both pieces of shit. Show some respect for the law or get the hell out.

Sorry to deflate your rage engorged, um, brains, but he can’t be executed anywhere. Mississippi, Texas or elsewhere.

All the Jackson hating chuds are real quiet on this one. I can’t recall anyone shooting at six Jackson cops anytime recently. STAY AWAY FROM MADISON!!!!!

If he and his attorneys play it right they might actually get an Innocent or at least a hung jury if held in a Blue State/District with strong anticop feelings.

8:13 - That's because you never six Jackson cops together, anywhere, other than hanging around the girls at city hall and the courthouse offices.

"@8:13 PM - Yo brightspark, this didn't happen in Madison". So even brighter brightspark, where did it happen if he is charged by MCSO for numerous counts of Aggravated Assault on LEO's in Madison County? If you are referencing to Madison the City, clarify. He is being held at the RCSO, but that's for his protection.

It most certainly did happen in Madison County, Canton to be exact!! On highway 16 near the Canton Country Club. I hope they put this piece of trash under the jail! Only if they can’t give him a shot of “you will never breathe again”!

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.
