Kingfish note: JJ reported in 2018:
*The Grandmother was a long-time waitress at Chili's on Briarwood Drive.
* There is a 2014 indictment against Maurice Forte in Hinds County Circuit Court for attempted armed robbery and house burglary. The case is still pending. The last entry was 2016. His d.o.b. is December 14, 1995.
*Forte had a father that was a pretty bad dude. The Clarion-Ledger reported he was arrested in the early 1990's for a double murder in Chicago. However, there is no other mention of the case. There is also no other mention of Forte until 1997 when his funeral notice was posted in the Clarion-Ledger. His death would have taken place within two years after our current triple murder suspect was born.
*This part of the post is totally unconfirmed rumor from the Street Committee, so take it for what its worth. The Street Committee says that the elder Forte was a drug kingpin, one of a certain former Mayor's boyz. The mother of Forte and her boyfriend at the time, someone with a street name of Goldmouth, had him whacked. Yeah, I know, Goodfellas type of stuff. However, the Clarion-Ledger archives are silent about the actual death of Forte nor his manner of death, much less a prosecution or arrest. As stated earlier, this is an unconfirmed rumor that is out on the street. The problem is, JJ has learned to listen to the Street Committee because it is right more often than not.

The wheels of justice in Hinds county are soaked with a mixture of molasses and sand-
Skreet Committee. Nice.
It only took 6 years.
How many bodies have to be stacked up before one qualifies for the death penalty?
The Forte line has ended.
It took 5 years for an indictment????
He should've gotten the death penalty.
That was quick, it only took 3 and a half years to prosecute.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Dust off "old sparky."
the death penalty was de facto abolished in hinds county about 25 years ago.
the current D A has no ability to try a death penalty case and no interest in learning how.
