Hinds County convicted killer Zebulum James, now Madison County gets its turn at trying him for murder today. James went on a shooting spree in Jackson and Ridgeland in 2015, killing two people.
James shot a woman to death at the Shell station on Watkins Drive (near I-220). The victim's only sin was pumping gas. He also shot at an apartment complex that day, an occupied home, and an occupied vehicle. Not done, he drove through the parking lot of Logan's on East County Line Road and shot to death a poor woman from Kansas City who was here for a work conference.
James used a Tec-9 in his shooting spree. High on drugs, police had to taze him twice before they could subdue him. Then JPD Chief Lee Vance said he was still "tweaking" the next afternoon.
He was convicted of murder in Hinds County. The jury sentenced him to serve life in prison.
James is black. Both slain women were white.

Kingfish note: Unfortunately, he will probably not get the death penalty. A shame because he earned his death.

Seems like a hate crime. Crickets from the left.
I worked with this guy at Herrin-Gear Toyota, we fired him a week or so before this rampage went down. He was always a little off his rocker but I dont think anyone saw this coming. Watch out for those quiet & distant type people with glassy eyes, they're usually f'd up.
White lives matter-
It has taken FIVE yrs. to get to trial!!!!
When was he convicted of murder, and why was he out? So much for me buying my next car at Herrin Gear.
Do we know when the march and the "mostly peaceful" protest are scheduled? I'll need a few days' notice to ask off from work.
I wonder if this will make the "Southern Scrutiny" Facebook page that girl is always pushing? Doubt it. She has an agenda and equal press isn't it. in the words of the Drive By Truckers "such as the duality of the southern thing". She wants to point out racism, but seems that killing two white women is pretty racists.
This page does a great job of pulling in the loons who go nuts over a black on white crime.
I can only imagine what these people would have done in the age of lynching.
@11:44 He did all of this after working for herrin-gear, there were no signs that he was capable of this kinda thing (at least we assumed there werent, ive learned to look for these type of characteristics in people nowadays)
@1:07 PM - no HR type would support firing a "protected class" employee over a hunch. It's not going to happen. Now if he weren't a member of a "protected class," that's a different matter.
Bring back public hanging....now.
LOL at "protected class". You can fire anyone for damn near any reason in MS. So unless HG is getting some kind of federal money requiring them to hire "protected classes", you are full of it.
I bet he can’t wait to get to MDOC prison facilities so he can get high again! So jails are too strict and hire quality officers.
4:01. . .you may be right that Mississippi is an employment at will state, but in reality it is nevertheless difficult to fire someone for non-work related issues.
Signed, a 23-year Mississippi business owner.
Telemedicin is great for certain things. This ain't one of them.
I can assure you that on the Hinds County jury that convicted him and sentenced him to life, there were some liberals. Contrary to popular belief, no decent citizen, black or white, rebublican or democrat, liberal or conservative wants a proven murderer walking around. That goes for citizens of Hinds and Madison equally.
This man is a psych monster who should have shot himself as well.. he did a horrible unforgiveable act why he is wasting Madison County time with a trail is so stupid. He should have just plead guilty a long time ago and got his second life sentence. The trail actually starts today hope it goes quickly as there is nothing that is going to make his sentence any different.
Zebulum is already acting a fool before trial the jury is picked he started acting stupid the judge put him out of the courtroom. The trial now is to start at 2pm this jack is just playing a game causing more grief!!
Well Mr Ass hat shoes were wrong he couldn’t get along with his public defender then he gets his shoes eases he’ll there to small gets put out a second time. He said he wouldn’t get a fair trial anyway well neither did the 2 women he shot. Mississippi will be safer that he will never be on the streets again. Tomorrow the jury will be back with a verdict.I would say here is your other life sentence! Cant get the death penalty cause he didn’t kill 3 people. Its a shame he has played the system and the victim’s families!
