Jackson Jambalaya

What a sad day… a good officer and good friend…. We see you FOX, we have your back!!

I have a strong suspicion that the jury instructions were defective and confused the jury which led them to a conviction.

The druggies won a big one today...and the DA and Wooten facilitated it.

other defendants, dismissed by other circuit judge. Civil suit, dismissed by federal judge. Judge "Woke-Wooten" tries to block press from courtroom.

I predict she gets a smack-down on the attempt to bar the press and a prompt reversal by the Court of Appeals.

I feel an even worse "Blue Flu" may now infect Jackson/Hinds Law Enforcement.

The voters of hinds county that keep electing these judges and DA’s are also the voters who get chosen for jury duty…

Dang. Didn’t expect this. Glad I left”the job” 17 years ago.

I'm surprised we even have a police force at all. This is ridiculous.

It can’t possibly be that he’s guilty? It can’t possibly be that? Even tho a grand jury thought their was evidence to indict. A jury literally heard the evidence and convicted this man and y’all sit in here and talk about the Judge? Literally people who do not know him at all…who are not with the DAs office or the judge. Then officers in the courtroom basically threatened everyone, which ummm probably only confirmed their feelings. All on live stream. It’s sad all around. It’s sad all around. It will never not be sad. But people need to open their eyes…12 people from across the spectrum listened and judged and decided

841 pm, Anthony Fox was exonerated by internal affairs. He was exonerated by the MBI. He was exonerated by the FBI. The medical examinator even exonerated him. Let’s not forget that the other two officers involved were exonerated by judge Faye Peterson. I’m confident that Anthony Fox will be proven innocent in the end. I’m also certain that Wooten and Owens (I dare not give them the respect of thier titles) will escape the consequences they deserve for this injustice. Dennis Sweet cares about one thing and that is fattening his pockets. It makes one wonder what Wooten and Owens stand to gain from this lynching of an innocent man. Unfortunately, Anthony Fox and his family are suffering until his name is cleared (as if it ever needed to be cleared). Prayers for Anthony and his family.

Greta Bully at home, and they trying to put Fox in prison. Wooten just lost my vote.

Don't forget it was Chokwe Lumumba who insisted that the three officers be indicted. That idiot Wooten. that moldering pile of illegal drugs named Dennis Sweet, Jody Owens, Lumumba, and all three ADAs are responsible for this horrible miscarriage of justice.

@10:41 fox was never investigated by MBI. He couldn’t be exonerated by MBI if he was never investigated by MBI. The other two officers charges were dismissed bc no one in the courtroom could identify them as being apart of this, bc all the witnesses only said Fox’s name and could only identify Fox. The officers weren’t cleared by internal affairs, they found that they violated many JPD policies. Two medical examiners ruled the death a homicide by blunt force trauma. Even the defense experts said it was blunt force trauma cause of death. You are woefully uneducated about the facts. Also the fbi didn’t clear Fox. The civil case was dismissed by a judge bc of qualified immunity which only applies to civil cases NOT criminal cases. The FBI tried to go after them as well but couldn’t. If you don’t know the law and facts. Hush up.

@12:03 greta bully shouldn’t be at home! But that wasn’t judge wootens fault. Judge Wooten had nothing to do with the sentencing of greta bully. A special judge not elected by the citizens of hinds county sentenced greta bully to probation. Fox could get straight probation too!

So the police investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing, but an impartial jury heard the evidence and convicted him. Someone needs to investigate the internal affairs processes, clearly they covered up a crime. Thin blue line operates with the same rules as a typical street gang. We have to get someone outside that gang to investigate when officer misconduct is alleged.

End qualified immunity. Police should be required to pay for malpractice insurance so that taxpayers aren’t left to pay for their criminal misdeeds.

I doubt that Fox will get "straight probation." If so he wouldn't have been taken into custody and his bail would have been continued.

For the most part the judiciary in Jackson and certainly the mayor are cop haters.

"Even the defense experts said it was blunt force trauma cause of death." Blunt force trauma could be Killer George merely hitting his head while he resisted arrest. Blunt force trauma doesn't necessarily mean what you think it means.

"I have a strong suspicion that the jury instructions were defective and confused the jury which led them to a conviction." Why not, the Judge is defective and confused. This will be overturned in due time.

I guess this travesty of justice sets up a nice payoff for the upcoming civil suit for wrongful death, extracting money from Jackson taxpayers and lining the pockets of a lawyer.

LINK For a funding account to assist Mr. Fox with Legal fees?
An appeal should be happening... Let's help him!
Anyone?

@11:45 - I don’t think the donation sites allow convicted killers to get charity. Maybe you can send a check.

The citizens should remember this travesty of justice at election time.

@12:22 Wrong... and no one asked you to think....
You know good and well offenders LEGAL reps can accept payment via donations.

@1:19 - Wrong!!!! You asked for a link, which implies the major fundraising websites. Read the terms of service for gofundme or this dumbed down article: https://medium.com/gofundme-stories/gofundme-policy-on-fundraisers-for-the-legal-defense-of-violent-crimes-975aff8ba5f6

@1:19 - looks like you should go back to the drawing board because I think better than you do.

Gofundme terms of service state:

Without limiting the foregoing, you agree and represent, warrant and covenant:

not to use the Services to raise funds or establish or contribute to any Fundraiser with the implicit or explicit purpose of promoting or involving:

the legal defense of alleged crimes associated with hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, serious disabilities or diseases, financial crimes or crimes of deception;

Ending qualified immunity will open a Pandora's box the will never be closed and will effect every person in this country. There are too many ways to count and too stupid the number of people to understand. I can only hope the people wanting it the most will feel it first. And they will be blaming something else but I will know.

@11:45 There is a Gofundme link on Fox’s wife’s fb account.

Hinds County is Dysfunctional, per Judge Carlton Reeves. He sure didn't lie.

Thank you. What is the link?

Bottom line is the court system in Jackson is pro-criminal-catch and release no matter the crime (their record proves it) and anti-police. It was obvious from the court procedings ( muted mike to the video) on objections that the Judge is also anti-police. It's just another sad day for the people of Jackson. And people wonder why they can't hire police officers in Jackson (over 200 officers low).

The department of justice cleared the officers of any civil rights violations. How the hell can an officer murdersomeone and not violate their civil rights?

'Straight probation' or not. His career is ended and his life is forever affected in multiple, negative ways. His chair at the barber-shop, as they say, has been turned against the wall.

KF, curious to know why you think this one will be reversed and remanded.
