GOOD!!!
Had to look him to remember specifics of what he did. https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/local/2017/01/04/suspect-under-previous-carjacking-indictment/96161598/
He did his job. How shocking.
I glanced and thought the headline as "2 Years"
And it makes me sad that my brain erred to that in lieu of the actual quote of 22 years.
Suppose I am adjusting nicely to the lowered expectations that is the Hinds Justice system.
Congrats for getting one right.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Bye Martavious, the hood is gonna miss you, just kidding!
Crying damn shame it took almost 6 years.
9:55: Bullshit. This guy had a long time to left to continue to harm people and society. Now his ability to do harm to others in the future has been severely limited.
Yes, finally. Could say "good job" but the crime he received the 22 years for was done four years ago. And it was more than just a carjacking, as was the crime he committed a year before. This one, he cut the driver after stealing the car; the 'assumed' first one, he shot the driver.
And he has been out on bond ($200,000) for the past four years. Wonder how many of the other carjackings going on in the radical new city he has committed during that time.
Glad the perp finally got his day in court and this time the judge did something reasonable. Hopefully he will run into some other perps in the big house that will teach him how it feels to have your back cut open.
This homeboy's face, crime and sentence should be on every billboard in Jackson for 30 days, then some of these gangster wannabe's can see it's not all fun and games.
It takes nearly 6 years to sentence of violent criminal?
22 years? That's more than Jackistan thugs receive for shooting someone. The victim must be a friend/relative of the DA.
3:20, see 12:07.
To clarify my prior comment, justice has been served to this guy's future victims, of which there were sure to be many. I wonder who paid the $20K to bond this guy out. -11:41 a.m.
Seriously! What's up with the 'suspended' years? And what's the purpose of applying the years concurrently? Why not consecutively?
And please don't piss on my leg by telling me the suspended years can be added back if he flunks during probation 22 years from now.
In comes the Southern Poverty Law Center to claim he's mentally defective since his eyes are so far apart. In recognition of the holiday season and the practice of gifting, release this boy forthwith.
Is Mississippi a 85% or 65% served State. Really asking of the 22 years in prison how many much he serve. 22 years is big sentence and prison is a horrible place. thanks for whoever knows the answer.
23 years on a plea bargain?
Owens and Wooten aren’t members of the catch & release system, I suppose.
@3:20PM
You complain when criminals aren’t arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to prison. You complain when criminals are given too much time. The way I see it—you just like to complain.
6:35 - The way the rest of us see it, you have no idea whether he complains about both. You just like conjecture.
"Is Mississippi a 85% or 65% served State. Really asking of the 22 years in prison how many much he serve."
I've read that three times. Is an interpretation available?
