Jenkins Case Goes to A.G.

 The wheels of justice are grinding in the Michael Corey Jenkins case.  The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation forwarded the case to the Attorney General for criminal prosecution recently.  

Jenkins and his lawyers alleged six Rankin County deputies or law enforcement officers raided his Braxton residence on the night of January 24, 2023 without a warrant.  He claimed they handcuffed him and Eddie Parker before beating them, waterboarding them with milk, trying to rape them with dildos, threw eggs at them, and forced them to shower naked together.  One deputy allegedly stuck a gun in Jenkins' mouth and pulled the trigger.  Earlier post and civil lawsuit. 

Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey announced several weeks ago five Rankin deputies resigned or were terminated.  Four of the deputies are Brett McAlpin, Christian Demond, Hunter Elward, and Jeffrey Middleton.  The fifth deputy is unidentified.  Richland Police Chief Nick McClendon announced an "off-duty" Richland police officer, Joshua Hartfield, was "implicated in the raid and resigned. 

It is not known if the Attorney General has presented the case to the grand jury nor if indictments will be sought against all six former law enforcement officers.  However, the ball is now in Lynn Fitch's court.  

Kingfish note: The Federalis are expected to prosecute the case.  It would be nice if the state would clean up its own messes for once instead of letting the Feds handle everything.

Rankin County SO Interrogation Manual guidelines:

1. Pull out the dildos
2. If that doesn't work waterboard them with milk (kindler, gentler method)
3. If all else fails shoot them in the mouth

This will guarantee that they will confess to anything; maybe even the Lindbergh baby kidnapping or shooting Pres. Lincoln.

Federal indictments looming. Arrests forthcoming. Expect the indictments to allege circumstances that are actually worse than what has been pled in the civil litigation.

Don’t the Feds have to investigate since these are alleged federal crimes first? Yes the state should stop this too, agreed!

I will advocate for the devil here. Is there credible evidence that the officers actually dis these things? I have seen close gunshot damage to the soft tissue of a face, and such a shot would have blown away teh side of that guy's face. In recent videos, it looks pretty good, so I question the gun in his face and pulled the trigger claim.

Also I reviewed several hundred years of claims that the PoPo did bad things and found that many times, the perp was not telling the truth; either mistaken or simply lying about what actually happened.

Is there any testimony other than the two black guys to support these claims? Did they recover the dildo or anything else?

Just asking.

Now I remember why I built in the city of Madison rather than Brandon.

Any takers on when it will actually be called to Trial?

Allegations in a civil complaint for $400 million are not always backed up by the evidence. I plan to wait until the investigation reports are released to form an opinion.

1) dildo is secured in evidence. My question is who brought it to the party as it was not in the house prior.
2) phone records and taser records (mini computer inside of unit) secured
3) cell phones confiscated , my guess is there is 47 min of conspiracy taking place .
4) why steal the home camera system if nothing happened?
5) I’m hearing the original caller to Bailey has been questioned and identified.
6) BOS is putting distance between the county and the SO (at least Bailey that is ) a promotion was denied this week. I’m glad the Board took a stand .
If there was really nothing to this , what have all these things happened?
There will be much more to come and it gets worse!

It's my understanding from the street that this thing really is as bad as it sounds.

Also, there are strong suggestions the deputies will do some time. With that said, defendants never get in a hurry and when the settlement talks begin, I'm betting a large payoff and some reasonable plea deals could make this go away.

Except in the very limited circumstances involving a statewide drug investigation or RICO violations, the Attorney General has no legal authority to convene a grand jury. Thus, as in all the other cases where the AG's Office is prosecuting, the assigned prosecutor will present the case in the grand jury operating in the county where the criminal act occurred. Also, there is no need for the feds to investigate first, because we are talking about two separate sovereigns -- the State and the United States -- each of which has jurisdiction and can prosecute regardless of what the other sovereign does. There is no federal preemption in these circumstances.

If half of what’s been alleged is true, these officers will spend the rest of their lives in prison. It’s going to be kidnapping, attempted murder, felony assault, sexual assault, attempted murder, as well as the civil rights violations. They could probably get some enhancements for being gang members as well as possible RICO on the entire office if they are able to prove a pattern.

No way this goes away. This case, as horrible as it is, I’d on part of the SO’s problems . This has opened the proverbial can of worms .

This is interesting. All the talk from Fitch about Jim Hood hiring out of state friends to handle Mississippi issues.

She knows NOTHING about the law or handling a legal case.

Will she punt, claim some sort of immunity or recuse? She damned sure will not have anybody on her staff competent enough to handle the case.

Can’t trust Fitch to handle this one , I have no faith ! This one is handed to her on a silver platter .

@ 9:49...did you say THIS one? Can you remind me of a case, any case, her office has handled since the red-dress gals rallied her into office?

Reckon not, 8:36.

Unfortunately this will only be prosecuted by the Feds. That is going to be a real disservice to the MBI who have been hard at work on this case and others involving Rankin.

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.
