More Time for Gilmer?

The Madison County Sheriff charged attorney Barry Gilmer with aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and escape Friday after he allegedly beat a female detention officer.  Gilmer is serving a 12-day jail sentence after he was convicted of disturbing the peace several years ago.  However, Gilmer might stay in jail for awhile because he also has a six-month suspended sentence for discharging a firearm.  


JJ reported on December 17, 2018: 

Attorney Barry Gilmer was convicted of disturbing the peace and discharging a firearm towards a dwelling in Madison County Justice Court this morning. Deputies arrested Gilmer on April 16 after he fired a rifle in the direction of his neighbor's house. Justice Court Judge Lloyd Spivey, Jr., sentenced him to serve twelve days in jail for discharging the firearm.

Gilmer argued he was protecting his property from his neighbor's vicious dog. He said the hound-mix got out all the time and was on his property when the incident took place. He admitted in court he fired at the dog with his shotgun. The pellets shattered a kitchen window. Two small children were behind a window adjacent to the one that was shot. Gilmer claimed a tree blocked the view of the complainant.

Judge Spivey ruled Gilmer was guilty of the two charges. He fined Gilmer $500 and sentenced him to serve six months in jail for disturbing the peace, but suspended the jail sentence. He fined Gilmer $1,000 for the firearm charge and ordered him to serve twelve days in jail. Gilmer must pay court costs. Judge Spivey delayed the sentences for thirty days so Gilmer can appeal to County Court.Earlier post and copy of police report.

Gilmer managed to drag the case out through the appeal process until the Court of Appeals shut it all down and ordered the Madison County Justice Court to enforce the sentence.  

The attorney went to jail on January 24 and began serving his sentence.  However, things did not remain quiet for long.  Gilmer allegedly attacked a female guard as she served breakfast Friday.  She suffered multiple contusions, a broken collarbone, and a broken rib.  


Deputies charged Gilmer with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and escape.  Sheriff Tucker said he left his jail cell, hence the escape charge.  Justice Court Judge Lloyd Spivey set his bond at $750,000 for the aggravated assault charge and $1,000 for the escape charge.  

Judge Spivey convicted Gilmer of discharging a firearm in 2018 and sentenced him to serve six months in jail. However, the Court suspended the sentence.  

The Court could reinstate the suspended sentence and put the defendant in jail for another six months.  It will not be surprising if County Prosecutor Pam Hancock files a motion asking the Court to do just that.  

Stay tuned.

I'm still dumbfounded that he attacked an officer. Jail may be the safest place for him and others while waiting on trial for that attack.

77 years old an attorney, in jail and he's beating on the female guard?


SOMETHANG'S WRONG!

Note that Miss. Code Ann. § 97-3-7 provides that aggravated assault on a corrections officer can result in a 30-year prison term. Let's try that instead of 6 months.

Appears Mr. Gilder has finally FAFOed.

Mr. Gilmer’s true crime is confirming that women aren’t physically qualified to be corrections officers. Imagine being overwhelmed by a 77 year old man! What if instead of being beat to a pulp by a senior citizen, she was gang-raped by a group of younger inmates?

This doesn't surprise me from Barry. I would have simply stayed out of trouble. However, if sentenced to 12 days in jail, I would have simply served my 12 days and gone home with a lesson learned. I'm afraid this won't end well for him.

Wasn't he involved in the Bob Germany wine case?

Kingfish said...

Yes, they are going to probably present the new charges to the grand jury. Then the whole process starts again. If I'm a betting man, I'm betting he will be indicted.

However, a suspended sentence doesn't have to go through that whole process. Usually the prosecutor files a motion to revoke probation or something similar, the Judge holds a hearing, and the defendant's probation is revoked and he is sent back to prison/jail.

So yeah, Gilmer could theoretically serve 6 more months in jail over the 2018 incident and then have to serve whatever time he gets IF he is indicted and IF he is convicted. Again, those are "IF's."

Three hots and a cot, for free. What more could a lawyer want?

Nothing at all new in this thread other that what the high sherf charged him with.

The rest is fluff in order to load the page up with minutia. Kingfish has long had a hard on for multiple posts on the same subject. Slow day down at Jxn City Hall.

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.
