Man Charged With Manslaughter in Wife's Death

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.

Tuesday evening just before midnight, deputies received a report about a physical disturbance on Jodie Drive in Pelahatchie. Deputies arrived and made contact with a DUSTIN CARL SHOEMAKER. Deputies then found his wife, Lauren Danielle Shoemaker, deceased inside the house. During the investigation deputies were able to determine that there was a struggle involving a weapon. During the course of the struggle the gun went off, striking the victim. SHOEMAKER was then charged with aggravated domestic and involuntary manslaughter and transported to the Rankin County jail. District Attorney John “Bubba” Bramlett brought SHOEMAKER before Rankin County Court Judge Kent McDaniel for an initial appearance. SHOEMAKER is being held at the Rankin County jail on bond at this time. The investigation into the incident continues.

Pelahatchie is lost! The mayor was right about everything! Thank goodness the Sheriff caught this thug.

So...since this story is on a blog, the man is presumed guilty.

I’m not up to date on criminal law, and by God, I’m not seeking expert advice from the comments section, but it’s just so odd to me that killing someone while committing domestic violence is JUST manslaughter. Don’t know all the facts here, but from what I can tell just from this, he’s getting it damn easy.

Attn 5:20. There is no law that forbids charges from being upgraded.

7:18. You probably didn't know the domestic violence issues between them. He's no better a person than the average Jacktown thug who does a drive-by and kills an innocent inside a house...

The fact that he was charged with Aggravated Domestic Violence makes me wonder if he admitted to assaulting his wife. She may have been the one attacking him and regardless of his size this may have escalated with her grabbing a weapon and she got killed in that manner. Don't know either of the parties involved so I can not comment on them as 7:18. The Violence against Women Act 1994 was used as the basis of our now famous Domestic Violence law which tends to be skewed toward the woman's favor. Either way, this is a very sad situation for them, family and of course, children, if any. Praying for both.

Manslaughter is when you kill without either: intent to kill, intent to inflict grievous harm, or with a depraved heart. It could have been involuntary in this case through either recklessness or negligence.

There are young children. How terrible. Please pray for those children and all children who have to survive beyond the senseless actions of stupid adults.

"There is no law that forbids charges from being upgraded." Let me also add that there is no law that forbids charges being dropped as well.

"I’m not up to date on criminal law, and by God, I’m not seeking expert advice from the comments section . . . "

In other words, "please do not provide any new information which may conflict with my admittedly-uninformed opinion, which I do not want to have to think about and examine. I'm trusting my gut on this one."

Ironically, there are people who read and post comments on this blog who are actually qualified to give legal advice.

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.
