Hinds County Circuit Judge Debra Gibbs finally set a trial date for Monte Reeves on his aggravated assault indictment. Reeves is the husband of perennial Jackson Mayoral candidate Charlotte Reeves.
A Hinds County grand jury indicted Carl Monte Reeves on August 26, 2022, for two counts of aggravated assault and one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle.
The indictment states that on July 27, 2022 Reeves (allegedly)
did willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously attempt to cause or purposely or knowingly caused bodily injury to Jessie Shaw with a deadly weapon or other means likely to produce death or serious bodily harm, to-wit; Carl Reeves caused bodily injury to Jessie Shaw by shooting Shaw with an unknown caliber handgun, a deadly weapon..
The second count repeats the language of the first count but identifies Albert Jones as the victim. The indictment for shooting into an occupied vehicle alleges Reeves shot into the vehicle of Albert Jones. A JPD affidavit alleges Reeves shot into a Chevy Equinox driven by Albert Jones. However, another affidavit charges he shot Jessie Shaw with a pistol. Reeves remains free on a $200,000 bond.

Justice delayed is justice denied.
I can't think of a more boring car made than a Chevy Equinox.
Just protecting himself and his property.

Just because she set a trial date doesn’t mean it will actually happen. Many “trial dates” set by Judge Gibbs have come and gone with no trial.
I don't care what y'all say. Monte is not involved with Rapid Analytics!
"I can't think of a more boring car made than a Chevy Equinox."
I would expect you to say that. I saw you driving a Ford Prism.
The process is the punishment.
Wasn't this really just self defense? I seem to remember thinking that if Monte wasn't a white company owner this would have been ignored.
Won't take much of an attorney to get him off. Dennis Sweet could even handle this one.
Short trial. Listen to Reeves testimony and you will easily know he’s an innocent man.

I am the victim and I am also a white person. So please don't pull that on me. We were doing nothing wrong. My truck was clearly on a flat tire from running into a pothole on Mill Street. There is nothing there to burglarize. That Mill has been closed and rusted and busted down I know since I was a kid. He had no reason to shoot an unarmed white women who is on a flat tire with her black husband in their very own car. I have lost everything behind getting shot. My job, my family, my home. I have nothing in this world but a huge scar from the middle of my chest all the way down below my belly button.
