Unfortunately, accused killer Otha Brown is no stranger to the Hinds County criminal justice system. Accused of killing 12 year-old Adrian McDougles, the suspect already has a carjacking conviction under his belt even though he just turned 18 years old.
JPD arrested Brown and his alleged accomplice Turkuan Cohen for murder yesterday. McDougles and his 16 year-old brother were walking on Ventura Drive in Jackson Thursday afternoon when Cohen and Brown allegedly drove by and shot the brothers. The elder McDougles suffered gunshot wounds in the forearm and shoulder.
Young Adrian was a student at Mid-Town Charter School. Tragically, his mother moved her family to Hattiesburg to escape Jackson violence and was in town for the late Adrian's graduation ceremony.
A Hinds County grand jury indicted Brown for armed carjacking in July 2020. The indictment states Brown carjacked a victim in January 2020.
Brown pleaded guilty to armed carjacking in June 2021. Hinds County Circuit Judge Faye Peterson sentenced him to serve three years in prison but suspended 18 months of the sentence while giving him credit for time served. She also sentenced him to an 18 month term of post-release supervision.
Convicted, Brown did not appreciate the break he received because he never reported to his probation officer. A bench warrant was issued. His probation officer reported in January Brown had not reported to the probation office since August 2021.
Brown was still at large when he was arrested yesterday.
Kingfish note: Here is a video of the kid enjoying life.
Just like MSU graduate Jertia Evans a year ago. Family tries to escape Jackson violence only to be butchered.

How do we recall these freaking judges

why is it always a manlet?
What lawyer is representing this thug under the guise of justice?

Jackistan's criminal justice system sure showed him. He needs to receive the needle, or better yet, "old sparky." He will never ever make a positive contribution to society.
But tell me again how it's the gun's fault.
Thank you JUDGE FAY PETERSON. You sentenced him to three years, but after you sentenced him you let him out on the street with no time other than what he served at the Hilton Inn in Raymond - and when he never reported to his probation officer ---- NOTHING WAS DONE.
The Judicial system in Hinds County is broken. Our Judges have no sense of responsibility.
Judge Peterson - you need to face this recent graduates mother and explain to her why she no longer has her son. Why after graduating he no longer has his life to look forward to. Yes Judge Peterson, you didn't pull the trigger, but the lax attitude you --- and your fellow judges in Hinds County -- have regarding the concept of PRISON for these yukes, the deaths of these young black kids rests on your shoulders. You need to realize the consequence of your release program after JPD or others finally catch these kids.
Hopefully Justice Randolph might find some way under current authorities to be able to deal with this absolute failure in the justice system in Hinds County. Don't think there is any authority for him (or as others try to place the responsibility on the Governor either) --- but if there is any way at all, get these irresponsible people out of their robes and on the street. Or better yet, put these judges in jail as those policemen in Texas deserve to be for their failure to do their jobs resulting in innocent deaths.
" this baby might car-jack ya ... but I doubt he would kill ya".
Thus Spoke Zarathustra (along with Otha Brown's Momma).
But ... this young lad remains innocent until proven guilty by a jury of his peers ... or a Hinds County Judge.
757 well stated! However the people have voted!!!
Anyone on the street knows that armed carjacking is the red flag of a dangerous young criminal just getting started. It's a particularly stupid and careless crime. A slap on the wrist is almost encouragement to these thugs and that's what this guy got. The kind of nerve it takes to carjack is just the thing needed for drive-by shootings and other casual shootings. These judges are either stupid or just don't give a damn about the safety of the community they so routinely release these thugs into.
@9:25,
Or they are getting $$$ on the sly.
Jackson's population continuing to support bad judges is just another symptom of a suicidal culture bent on self destruction.
I think they like it the way it is. If not they would change it.
Last night I dreamed I was going down the interstate. At or about the Natchez Trace exit I was the first car confronting a white car blocking the interstate sideways. I veered left and drove up the embankment as fast as I could. In my rear view mirror the white car was following me and I knew I was going to die if I didn't keep driving. I couldn't find my phone to call 911. Of course I woke up truly scared.
Sounds ridiculous I know but obviously it was on my mind somehow. I love to go to Broad Street but darn even now I'm concerned about going that far.
Follow the money. Judges are many times lax and careless when there are incentives. As far as Jackson re-electing these judges, does anyone really think that an election in Hinds county has any integrity at all. Jackson and Hinds county officials should be treated under the RICO act and put to rest like the mafia that it is.
I wish you would quit posting this bad news about Jackson until after I sell my north Jackson house.
Way to go Fay!
@9:32am - Sorry, you should’ve sold 10+ years ago.
I just cannot in my wildest imagination understand the catch and release in program in the Hinds County Court System! What’s going to happen is that the craziness WILL catch up to the Judges and their families!
Was this an open plea or a recommendation by the DA? Love how this blog jumps on Peterson but Jody Owens receives a free pass. This is exactly what George Soros hired the former SPLC director to do. Catch and release. Why the double standard?
Didn't see a sentencing recommendation in the petition to enter guilty plea.
Standing by for strong leadership from His Highness Baby Chowke, but wait, he is "out of town." Is his sister in charge?
I havent read all the responses. Did thy ask WHY? WHY" Was it just for fun
Well, Jackson’ insane homicide rate finally caught the attention of Zero Hedge.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/how-cut-crime-murder-capital-america
How are the homicide stats comparable to this time last year?
It's going to be a long, hot, summer. Keep your powder dry. Not to worry because His Lord Mayor will be "out of town."
I don't know what's worse:
The fact that Peterson was a D.A. and should know better.
or
The fact that voters have recent memory of her performance as a D.A. and she was still elected.
