The Capitol Police caught a trio of carjackers last week on Fortification Street near the interstate. Sadly, one of the suspects was only 16 years old. Sadder still is he has been under indictment since 2020.

The case was assigned to Circuit Court Judge Faye Peterson. Attorney Carlos Tanner represents the defendant as a public defender. The case was reassigned to Special Circuit Judge Andrew Howorth in September.
Judge Peterson reduced his bond to $30,000 in July 2021 and ordered him to wear the ankle bracelet. She terminated the order in February 2022. Mr. Tanner requested a mental evaluation in March 2021. Such motions usually delay adjudication for quite some time and this case was no exception. The case is still pending.
Capitol Police arrested Johnson, Ladarius Williams, and Antoine Gibbs last Wednesday for allegedly carjacking someone one Gillespie Street. The police subsequently charged Gibbs for the November murder of Doordash delivery driver Corey Price in Belhaven Heights.

Remember when Faye Peterson was the district atty and used to put people in jail?
Maybe it is true that crime is not that bad in Jackson. It seems like everyone they arrest has already been arrested many times. If only they would do something with them after they arrested them.
Reduced bail and returning criminals to the streets, is not a viable form of rehabilitation. This grand social experiment must end.
Pastor Pickett Et al can have a community meeting with the parents and neighbors of these young men and work your magic! There is no need to invite Capital Police.
I doubt the Chief and Sheriff will attend unless you insist!
There is very little "rehabilitation" in criminal justice. That is a wet dream of the bleeding hearts. There is a deterrent and certainly punishment, but rehab? That would be rare.
In summary, allow me to ask: What have we as a communal society learned from this example?
2:02 There is also removing people from society who are unable to conform themselves to the requirements of civilized society.
Two and 1/2 years after indictment and still no trial, because it takes years to conduct a mental evaluation. Somebody needs to fix that asap.
In the meantime, has bail been revoked, or is that another bottleneck?
From the indictment: “ being a male human being above the age of eighteen (18) years and whose date of birth is January 29, 2006”
The guy was not 18 at the time, so why does the indictment stating he was? Are they that careless with these things?
Also, not sure you can call this catch and release as he never went to trial. If using tactics to delay pending trials is illegal, then a certain orange clown just made the top of the most wanted list.
1:13 - good point!
Persons committing a felony with a handgun should not get bail. Only non-violent offenders should be afforded this luxury.
2:02 Bleeding hearts until it happens to their loved ones
Why does it take so long to get a med eval?
We have a $4 billion surplus.
Staffing, Staffing, Staffing - just like the water plant.
Where I come from, if a fellow wants a mental exam stating he is incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, then that fellow is immediately placed in or kept in jail until the evaluation is complete. Why on God's green earth would you release someone back into society accused of a violent crime if he or his lawyer says he can't tell right from wrong and should therefore ultimately not be punished.
1:59, As I understand it, incompetent to stand trial and not guilty be reason of insanity are two different things. The first is being able to meaningfully participate in one's own defense.
