Child Rapist Gets Life Twice

 Rankin-Madison District Attorney John Bramlett issued the following statement.

 Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney John K. Bramlett, Jr., announced that on February 22, 2021, Judge Steve Ratcliff sentenced Keith Lamar Reeder, 47,   to concurrent life  sentences  on two separate sexual battery  charges. He must also  register  as a sex offender and  have no contact with the victims.

On  May  16,  2020,  Pearl  Police  Department  received  an  emergency  call  from  an individual   seeking  assistance  because  a  man  was  in  her  home  holding  her  and  two  children against their will. When Pearl Police officers arrived on the scene, they located Reeder hiding in the attic. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Reeder used a knife and forced his way into the home. He robbed and assaulted one of the occupants and physically and sexually assaulted the juveniles in the home.

All  three  victims  were  taken  for  medical  treatment  at  the  University  of  Mississippi Medical Center. Upon their release, the juveniles were interviewed by the Mississippi Children’s Advocacy Center. Reeder made a partial confession to the Pearl Police Department during his interview.

Reeder  faced  charges  of  burglary,  kidnapping,  child  abuse,  aggravated  assault,  armed robbery, statutory rape, gratification of lust and sexual battery as a result of his heinous actions inside the home in Pearl on May 16, 2020. He was indicted as a habitual offender, meaning he had two or more prior felony convictions. Rather than proceeding to trial on all charges, Reeder pled guilty to two counts of sexual battery. He will serve two life sentences concurrently without the possibility of parole.

District Attorney Bramlett stated, “I am thankful for the prompt response and hard work of  the  Pearl  Police  Department,  the  Mississippi  Children’s  Advocacy  Center,  the  Mississippi Crime Lab and the Safe Center at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Because of their efforts on this case, we were able to avoid having a trial where these victims would have to relive this terrible trauma on the witness stand. Keith Reeder will spend the rest of his life in prison  for his actions, which is where he belongs.”

$2.00 bullet solves this problem.

"He must also register as a sex offender and have no contact with the victims." Was this actually part of his sentence or just written from muscle memory.

He won't last long in the pokey. Hell is not hot enough for folks like him.

He'll be out in ten years.

Nope, 3:04. He'll be in a casket in four.

Why did he plea? Public defenders gotta do better.

just put him on the yard and tell the other inmates why he’s in jail, and turn away. (and cameras off) why should we pay taxes to feed this animal three meals a day?

Why did he plea... I don’t know, but I’m thinking probably because he didn’t stand a chance?? Did you see how many charges he was facing, along with the fact that he was caught in the act?

In response to 5:37, he had no incentive to plea. He received life without parole, period. That means exactly what it sounds like. Also the max sentence for what he is charged with. A good PD makes them prove it at trial. If they make an error, have to do it all over again.

Perty face for Parchman.

Ok, ok I’m no lawyer and this guy truly deserves what is about to happen to him. What I don’t understand is if your serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole then why would you have to register as a sexual predator. Like would they put the sign outside the prison gate or something? And being ordered not to have contact with the victims? I’m thinking the victims are the last people on earth this jackass would want to ever talk to. In any case he’s getting ready to be a victim himself, for two lifetimes. But then again he could cut the sentence in half with good behavior.

So we get to pay $50,000 a year to house, feed, and provide medical and legal services for this guy for the next 40 years.

2:14 is right. One $2.00 bullet would save a lot of grief and cost.

This is appropriate sentence for the crime. But I dont understand why you plea to a life sentence, when that's the most you could have gotten anyway.

Unless he didn't want to sit through a trial and watch the movie about himself...

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.
