Sheldon Alston, Jr. Comes Home for Christmas

 Sheldon Alston, Jr. is home for Christmas after serving half of a three-year sentence for brutally beating his girlfriend at Ole Miss.  The St. Andrews graduate is the scion of some Mississippi legal royalty as he is the grandson of prominent north Mississippi attorneys Flip Phillips and the late Alex Alston.  The Oxford media ignored the case. 

 

Altson brutally beat, strangled, and kidnapped his girlfriend in September 2016.*  They were both students at Ole Miss.  A Lafayette County grand jury indicted Alston in June 2017 for aggravated assault, domestic violence, and kidnapping.

The case was repeatedly continued until a petition to enter a guilty plea was quietly submitted to the court.  Quietly because the petition did not appear in the public court file under after his sentencing hearing on June 10, 2019.  The hearing took place in the courthouse in out of the way New Albany.  Out of sight, out of mind, except yours truly got a tip and attended the hearing.  The circuit judge denied the camera request even with the victim's consent.  Earlier post on sentencing.

District Attorney Ben Creekmore's office dropped the kidnapping charge and asked Circuit Judge Kelly Luther to sentence Alston to serve 15 years in prison but suspend 12 years of the sentence.  Alston was released after completing 50% of his prison sentence under state law.  He faced a maximum sentence of 20 years for the domestic violence charge and life for the kidnapping charge.  The withdrawal of the kidnapping charge is important because a judge can not suspend any part of a sentence if the maximum penalty is life in prison.  Merrill Nordstrum represented Alston.  

MDOC released Alston Tuesday.  The prep-school thug thus managed to make it home for Christmas thanks to a hearty helping of home cooking.  

 Posted below is the victim's statement to the Court.  The victim  describes Alston's attack in stomach-churning details.  The statement tells the story of what took place afterwards as the young woman recovered, facing challenges she couldn't not have imagined just a few days earlier.  There was an inability to trust the police. Days of tears.  Frustrating attempts to get justice.  "I felt as if all the lawyers in Mississippi were ganging up on me to protect Sheldon and do a favor to his extended family of legal experts" said the victim, describing her own lawyer who advised her to sell out her justice. Meanwhile the family of her abuser seemed to be more concerned with young Sheldon's ability to go to law school one day instead of  her beating.  We must preserve the ole family heritage at all costs.  The statement is a story that should be read, as it represents too many women in the Magnolia State. 

* The victim provides the graphic details of the attack in her civil lawsuit and victim impact statement.  JJ reported February 28, 2018:

The complaint states they went out with friends on The Square in Oxford on the night of September 7, 2016.   Alston allegedly became angry, demanded she leave with him, accused her of talking too much to her girlfriends, and yelled at her.  He pushed her down some brick stairs.  He took away her iPhone and destroyed it.  The victim claims that she suffered a scratch on her cheek.  Then all hell broke loose (allegedly and literally):

15. As they turned south onto South 18th Street, a much less traveled road than University Avenue, Alston began to forcefully grope xxxx, sticking his hand up xxxx's skirt, while sliding his other hand over her mouth. Fearing for her safety, xxxx tried to push him away.

16. Infuriated by xxxx's rebuff, Alston willfully, wantonly, and maliciously threw her to the ground, pinning her under him, preventing her from escaping. At this point, he unleashed a torrent of blows, viciously and repeatedly striking her face with his hands. Alston's physical attack continued when he began strangling xxxx with both hands clasped around her neck.

17. Alston's attack left xxxx severely bruised. xxxx had cuts and aberrations on her legs,elbow, and back. Alston's actions further caused bruises and wounds around her neck and leaving her left eye swollen shut....

19. Once at Alston's house, Alston stated: "I am going to kill myself, and I am going to kill you, too." Apparently noticing the seriousness of his words coupled with the physical attacks he had already inflicted on xxxx, Alston quickly added: "Actually, I am not going to kill you." (How nice of him to say that.  What a relief- KF)

20. xxxx begged Alston to let her go home or to call her a ride. However, Alston refused. He even stood in front of the door preventing her from leaving.

21. Instead he asked xxxx can they '"do it one last time." Bruised from his vicious physical attacks on her, xxxx began to cry. Alston responded by spitting on her and calling her selfish for not having sex with him.

22. After a while, when things had calmed down, xxxx saw her opportunity to leave Alston's house, and attempted to do so.

23. When Alston figured out that xxxx had attempted to leave his house without his permission, he again became furious, resuming his brutal physical attack on xxxx. This fourth attack of the night was the most vicious and brutal.

24. Alston slammed her against the wall. In an attempt to get away xxxx sunk down against the wall to the floor. But Alston did not let her get away. He pinned her under him, preventing her from escaping and continued the attack, again willfully, wantonly, and maliciously strangling her and striking her with his hands.....

28. Instead, Alston drove xxxx to his grandfather's secluded cabin in the woods located at ____  in Oxford, Lafayette County, where the two were completely alone.

30. Upon returning to Alston's house at around 6:00 AM, Alston forbade xxxx from leaving, fearing someone would call the police on him if they saw her injuries he had caused.

31. xxxx finally convinced Alston to allow her to leave by telling him that she planned to drive to her home in Columbia, Mississippi and stay there until she healed from the injuries he had inflicted on her.
She went to the emergency room where her injuries were treated and documented.  The hospital reported the injuries to the Oxford Police Department.  An Oxford police officer visited the victim at the hospital.  His report described her injuries, although it can't describe the suffering and horror she endured if the alleged events are indeed true.  The stomach turns as one reads the list:

a. Scratches and bruising on her right jaw
b. Scratches and bruising on the left jaw
c. Scratches on her left hairline
d. The area around her left eye was bruised, scratched and swollen
e. Both lips were bruised badly and the inside of her mouth was also bruised
f. Her back was scratched in several places
g. Her right elbow was scratched
h. Her right leg was bruised
1. Her neck was red, bruised, and scratched all the way around including the area around her hair line on the back of her neck. Some of the marks on her neck looked like scratch marks from finger nails scratching her neck.

 Oxford police arrested Alston and charged him with felony domestic violence-aggravated assault and felony kidnapping.  He posted a $30,000 bond and was released.

10:33, STFU. This account rings 100% to me, and is terrifying. The context, sequence of events- chilling. I can tell you from experience that this is what happens: they can’t handle perceived “rejection”. There is alcohol, bruised ego, sense of entitlement. My soon to be ex had a habit of doing shots and being a private $&@#%^*, while being a public “great guy”. While I was recovering from chemo, mastectomy, radiation and finally couldn’t handle the drinking and assholery any longer, couldn’t do the sex, either, the verbal abuse crescendoed. Finally, he spit on me. That is what makes me POSITIVE her account is true. It’s the entitlement and contempt for the woman- who isn’t doing his bidding- and bruises his ego- that is the common denominator in abuse. His family enables it. He will kill a woman one day.

She needs help to figure out why she would stay with someone that long that abused her. She should have kicked him to the curb the first time he strangled her and I think that was in January.

December 24, 2020 at 10:33 AM, you're an idiot, and sheldon alston is a king size piece of shit. he hasn't paid much of a price, if any. less than two years in prison? i don't care how bad prison is, his stay in prison wasn't anywhere near as bad as mine would have been, if i were a girlfriend beating piece of shit, because i'm not legal royalty. her beating could have been twice as bad as written and she still could have survived. i've seen enough MMA females fight to know a woman can take a serious beating and still survive. if this piece of shit beat my daughter or sister like this, this would be his last christmas on earth. sure as hell glad i'm not your wife, or daughter, or sister, or niece, or even a female friend. she probably asked for it right? you're the cancer, not this blog.

This is an example of white privilege, at least rich white privilege.

If a black kid from a poor family did this in Madison, would the sentence have been the same??? Do you know how many young black males are serving lengthy prison sentences for selling drugs to some individual who wanted to buy the drugs. This story is a reminder why some people have no faith in the justice system.

@10:33 AM When did you stop beating your girlfriend/wife?

Kingfish said...

Not really. But for a few cases, if they are serving long sentences for drugs, it's due to trafficking. Most of the drug offenders are placed under house arrest or supervised release. See the MDOC stats. They are on the MDOC website.

Two observations. Of course this is privilege at work. Of course DA Ben Creekmore is ultimately at fault, criminal-procedurally speaking. Of course young Mr. Alston is a violent little sociopath.

On the other hand, with respect to African American perpetrators of domestic violence, the system (with some few notable exceptions) is even more forgiving. Particularly in black-majority jurisdictions.

Secondly, nobody sees poor Mr. Alston as the victim he is. The last comment from the victim impact statement says a lot, "He does not have a support system that appreciates the seriousness of the crimes. He does not have a support system encouraging him to tell the truth. He does not have a support system committed to reforming him."

There is another way of putting that. Mr. Alston is a victim of negligent child-rearing. His life was ruined ab initio. It just took a while to figure it out. I feel sorry for him, for the victim, for both their families, for Mr. Alston's next victim. Yeah, he's rich and white in Mississippi. Big deal. I'd rather be the poorest Hispanic at the chicken factory with a decent mamacita and a stab at a decent life.

The state GOP is tough on crime until it's one of their darling children. "My baby didn't do nuffin" is not a trope limited to the mean streets of Jackson. Moral cowardice in the judiciary is an affront to the law and a resignation of any claim to be a gentleman regardless of a family's bet worth.

You know...maybe a visit from from “guys” from New Orleans might be the remedy.....and you know what I mean by that because if it was my daughter I would be In Parchman....I’m not of the elite, but as I have said numerous times on here, there are around 200 families that control the wealth and power in this state and they need to relinquish it. This would be a first “good step”

1:30 Damn right nobody sees Mr. Alston as a victim. He is a grown ass man, not a wayward child. He is 100% responsible for his actions, period. Damn his not having a proper "support system". He has a hell of a lot more support than most violent perpetrators like himself. And please understand there is a difference between a system being forgiving of black domestic violence and a system that just don't give a damn. Thank you.

Reminds me of BriianClark from Waynesboro. He almost killed his wife. The Clark family did all they could to keep this thug out of prison. They even paid a state representative to sign on as co-counsel to get another delay in the trial. He spent too little time in the pen- should have been sent to Parchman! They would have made a she-male out of him and send him back home to mama in Waynesboro. His uncle, Don Clark did all he could to protect the Clark family name!

2019 legislative session HB 1300 would have developed a comprehensive policy concerning sexual assault ,domestic violence, dating violence ,stalking to apply more pressure on IHL to provide adequate training and funding for students safety. House passed bill Senate killed it at the direction of IHL. Schools image is more important than our children safety. Maybe on line education is the best approach less revenue but more safety. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IHL SO OUR CAMPUSES CAN DEVELOPED ONE POLICY TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN.

@5:38pm

A Federal Law already exists in the form of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. §§ 1681-1688)- and nothing is stopping the "leadership" of any given institution from thoroughly explaining it.

...enforcing it is a whole other matter. Each college has its own little police department, where turnover is ridiculous because you have to be willing to look the other way, and NOT report everything as required. College's have insurance that requires adverse incident reporting, so it will make their premiums go up for one thing, and it also documents any pattern of negligence that would be helpful to someone that decided to sued them. IHL has no interest in keeping students safe....only milking those students (i.e. pimping) for billions in tuition through state and federal financial aid.

"Education" in Mississippi is a multi-billion dollar score for the upper class only every year. Keep those numbers churning, and don't expose us to litigation. That's ALL "education" in Mississippi is about.

The Alston's are one such family of and a part of this process. The kid is a psychopath, but could be Governor of Mississippi one day.

Anonymous said...

For the question of whether he can attend law school, yes and no. He cannot ever be admitted to practice in Mississippi, given his felony conviction. He is unlikely to be admitted to law school in Mississippi since he is ineligible for admission to the bar. However, there are states that do admit persons to the bar with past felony convictions, but it depends on the felony, the circumstances, etc. My educated guess is, however, that he is a long shot for admission anywhere, especially in the current climate as to sex-related crimes, especially without some strong evidence of a reformed character, and it is far too soon to demonstrate that. Family connections in Mississippi won’t be of much help out of state. And even if admissible to the bar, few if, any law schools, would admit him.

Sounds like he is either a textbook Narcissist Pscychopath or at minimum Borderline Personality Disorder (Spoiler?). The immediate change to Temper/Violence (Splitting) can indicate an Exaggerated fear of abandonment. This side is kept hidden from ANYONE except someone they are in a relationship with, or some family members. Insane, unreasonable jealousy/Control is also a indicator.

With BPD, you get a buffet of almost every Cluster B Disorder. It is usually caused by neglect as a child. Studies show the condition can begin in the womb. The child knows it isn't wanted. Many times the BPD has 1 or more Narcissistic parent. People can have at least 3 ages. A physical age, a mental age, but those with BPD have a Emotional age. They NEVER progress past 3.5 years & everything they do is based on Emotion. They guard it Religiously from anyone outside. Even Psychiatrists are afraid to diagnose, much less treat BPDs. There is NO treating Psychiatrist/therapist in Mississippi.

PRAY your children NEVER get involved in with a BPD. BTW, the term below "Crazy-Making" is a defined psychological behavior. If U read the Court Summary, you saw the term "Gaslighting". This is just 1 of the several means a BPD uses to manipulate their victim. When he threatened suicide, that's another method used to manipulate the victim.

A BPD will NEVER legitimately take responsibility for ANYTHING, because guilt=Exaggerated intense Pain. So they always find & justify whatever they do. It is always caused by someone/something else. They say many times, "You made me do this". They have the ability to rewrite their memory of events & many believe their own version, thus the ability to pass a polygraph.

BPD wasn't even diagnosed until 1980. It's gotten more exposure now, & there are a few Attorneys who specialize in a divorce from a BPD. They can manipulate Police, Judges, Lawyers, everyone. It usually becomes a Nuclear/Scorched Earth situation. There are also written guides on how to break up with a BPD GF/BF.

If U ever get to watch the Documentary on SNL Comedian Phil Hartman, do so. His wife was BPD. Misdiagnosed as Bipolar. She killed him, then after she had split into a 3 year old tantrum, shot him. After she shot him, she went immediately to her BF, trying to find a way out. He came back to the house, called Police & when Police arrived, she shot herself because she couldn't see a way out of the responsibility & the pain she couldn't control at that moment.

Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD: Personality disorders drive erratic behaviors that are disruptive/damaging to relationships. Borderlines are often misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, because their temperament & moods can fluctuate wildly. Some individuals should be dual-diagnosed, as these two disorders frequently coexist. BPD houses a panoply of other disorders; Attachment Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Histrionic Personality Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Dependent Personality Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, Eating Disorders, etc.

Even Anxiety & Panic Disorders can be part of a Borderline's symptomology. Hallmarks of BPD include; desperate attempts to gain attention, intense/irrational abandonment fears, lack of empathy, lying, extreme jealousy, poor impulse control, cheating or extramarital affairs, drug/alcohol abuse, hyper-sexuality, 'crazy-making' interactions, low self-esteem, rebound relationships, passive-aggression, cognitive distortion, suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, splitting (love you/hate you), etc.

This all makes me sad. That poor girl will not be the same, and he does a couple of years and is out to strike again. Why would Creekmore, and more importantly, Oxford allow this? Oxford has been a safe and chosen city fo some time due to maintaining order/stopping crime/protecting residents, but if this continues, it will decline even more. I would hate to see that - we need some safe havens in MS where rules and laws are adhered to and people can feel relatively safe.

The comprehensive assessment by 6:19pm could apply to a large portion of today's youth to a large degree.

Most of them were emotionally abandoned as children by their parents, yet given material things and a sense of entitlement to never worry about their future as the substitute. Now many are slamming into their young adult status, and realize everything's not handed to me, and everyone doesn't think I'm special - so they act out violently to get their way....and as long as judiciaries "give them a break" they only get worse pathologically. Research is conclusive on this.

Judges are nothing but frustrated referees who would rather be social workers. They are supposed to serve their communities, but they only serve their fragile emotional egos.

This poor victim's family (and attorney) should be raising holy hell.

Not sure if JJ readers are aware that in almost all cases involving wealthy families and the “good old boy” network get resolved in expungements. Is there a way to track expungements in MS, if so, wonder how many involve cases like lil Alston’s? I know of a lot of those cases.... many of those occur n in the far reaches of the 3rd district. Things are less transparent in that area? Thank you KF!

This turd will get his record expunged and will go on to become a turd lawyer. It is likely he’s been offending for many years and for many years to come - all will be expunged and any reference to these crimes would only be found in KF blogs (if they haven’t made KF remove them). The day will come when all those elite expungements get exposed and just maybe there will be lawsuits that will rattle universities, the state, law enforcement, judges. Still will not help the unlucky victims of these lil turds but maybe it will uncover the corruption.

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.
