Woman Indicted in St. Paddy's Parade Shootings (Updated)

 Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens issued the following statement. 

The Office of the Hinds County District Attorney issues the following update in response to recent media inquiries:

Jenny Lukens was taken into custody today by deputies of the Hinds County Sherriff’s Office following service of her indictment. The Hinds County Grand Jury indicted Lukens for Hindering Prosecution in violation of Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-9-105, for her alleged role in the shooting deaths of two individuals during the Hal and Mal’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 25, 2023.




On May 12, 2023, the Hinds County Grand Jury indicted Jordan Cummins of two counts of First-Degree Murder in violation of Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-3-19 for the murders of Joshua Spann and Auden Simpkins. Cummins was arraigned in Hinds County Circuit Court on June 13, 2023. His trial has been tentatively set for November 13, 2023. Cummins is also under a separate indictment for possession of contraband in a correctional facility in violation of Mississippi Code Annotated section 47-5-193. That trial has been set for November 6, 2023.

All persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.


Update (6/26/23): The indictment states: 


On, or about the 251h day of March, 2023, in the county aforesaid and within the jurisdiction of this Court, being a female human being above the age of eighteen (18) years, did with the intent to hinder the apprehension, prosecution, conviction or punishment ofJordan Cummins for conduct constituting a felony, render criminal assistance, as defined by Mississippi Code Annotated §97- 9-103, to Jordan Cummins by engaging in acts designed to interfere with or prevent law enforcement's investigation into Jordan Cummins, to-wit: Jenny Lukens fled the scene of the shooting with Jordan Cummins, and subsequently misrepresented, fabricated, and/or embellished the events immediately preceding Jordan Cummins's shooting of multiple individuals during the Hal and Mal's St. Patrick's Day Parade, to law enforcement officers in order to prevent and/or interfere with the investigation, prosecution, and/or conviction ofJordan Cummins in violation of Section 97-9-105 ofMississippi Code Annotated (1972, as amended).

All of the above, being contrary to the form of the statute in such cases made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the State of Mississippi.

I don't see how he can be charged with possession of contraband since there is no evidence he either owned nor had his hands on the video equipment. Maybe he can be charged, instead, with dancing and acting a fool.

I reckon 'fearing for ones life or personal safety' is going to be hard to either prove or disprove.

No blessings for white folk in Hinds County. The truth hurts - as it should.

Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-9-105 is hindering prosecution. You’re welcome.

Since when is hiding your loved one from the man become such a big deal. Heck, it is a way of life Hinds County and has been for decades?

I find it absolutely amazing that Cummins got a trial date so soon.
I'm pretty sure we know what the verdict will be. There are no fair trials for Rankin county white boys in Hinds county. Not with SPLC.
Meanwhile other murderers are free to roam the city of Jackson at will.

Black and white defendants get trial dates within six months all the time in Hinds County.

They are just continued all the time as well.

Please state what, specifically, she did or has done that hinders prosecution. Then I'll thank you. This charge is designed to shut her up. And it will go nowhere.

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.
