A wee bit of justice was served on Daveon Lindsey in Madison County Circuit Court yesterday.
JPD immediately apprehended Lindsey. To say "there was no shame in his game" is a perfect description of McNair's killer. A witness said he was smiling when captured. Chief Wade said McNair's blood was on Lindsey's clothes, Lindsey had several of the victim's credit cards, and was driving his truck in the vicinity of the murder when spotted. He confessed to the murder after capture.
JPD charged Lindsey with capital murder, armed carjacking, and felony evasion.
Lindsey's deadly escape got the attention of the Madison District Attorney. Assistant Madison County District Attorney Todd McAlpin filed a motion to adjudicate on Lindsey and revoke his probation on May 24.
Judge Arthur held a hearing yesterday and pronounced sentence on Daveon Lindsey. The Court sentenced the defendant to serve the maximum sentence of seven years in prison.

Judge Arthur was a day late and a dollar short on this one and cost a guy his life.
He would be the definition of a “feral dog “ and needs to be put down.
7.....SEVEN.....7.....SEVEN YEARS!!!?????
What in the world...after all that he has done....only 7 years!!!
He WILL kill again in his long and full life and this is on the Judge's HEAD (as well as his) when he reaches the God's judgement seat, I'm sure.
Textbook product of a broken culture.
same song, different verse. Why judges continue to let these criminals go (give them a "second chance") is beyond my comprehension. These folks only know one thing: force. The only way they're not going to do it or something similar again is if they're prevented from doing it by being behind bards. If they know they can "get by" with something, they're going to do it again and again.
I'd like to know how many criminals who escape incarceration via non-adjudication / probation are later (or sooner) arrested for another crime(s). I'd be willing to bet it approaches 100%
@11:22 Tell me you don't know the criminal system without saying you don't know it. He got seven years on his prior crime in Madison County for burglary. He has not been tried or sentenced for the murder yet. DA and I don't mean District Attorney
@11:16
7 years for the burglary, which is a lot (without knowing the sentence was a result of violating the terms of non-adjudication)...He hasn't yet been prosecuted for the murder.
KF, did this young man have anything else on his record? Usually, folks who do heinous stuff like him (considering he's confessed to the murder) have extensive rap sheets and are still "blessed" by the court to be on probation.
11:22, his probation was revoked for his previous crime of burglary. That is his 7 years. He still will go to trial for the Parham Bridges murder, et al. This just means he will be in jail NOW and not have the ability to be released on bond before he stands trial for the other crimes.
Seven years for murder? This is not justice.
11:22: He has not faced trial for the murder yet. As the post states, this is for the burglary committed previous to the murder.
11:22
Do you understand he is still facing capital murder and other charges?
If only there wasn't one of those deadly gas stations nearby that murder in the park would have never happened.
@11:22 I believe 7 years is the maximum sentence for a burglary of this nature (non-dwelling or auto). And this is just talking about the sentence for the Ridgeland Papitos burglary, not for the murder of Melvin McNair Jr. Hopefully this worthless thug will be staying in prison for life after he is convicted or pleads guilty to that senseless act.
One more failure of the justice system.
No price to pay nor lessen to be learned here.
Get out of Mississippi while you can.
Please locate a windowless masonry wall, set up a 50 cal anti aircraft gun on a tripod, tie the varmint to a post in front of the wall, bring in a volunteer executioner, blast this subhuman straight to hell.
Maybe next time the judge won't let himself get cucked into giving probation for a criminal that has made the conscious choice to victimize the increasingly shrinking minority of productive people in the metro area.
This fool thunk he was going to sit in the Hinds County bed and breakfast until his Capital Murder case in Hinds County was heard! However a Judge in Madison County sent his dumb ignorant ass to the big boy prison on the previous Madison County charges.
Big Mama showed y’all asses the county boundaries, but naw y’all cannot read the signs that say leaving Hinds County!!!
Bring back public caning!
He’ll get less than 7 on the murder in hinds if this young potential rocket scientist scholar is in line for a blessing.
I wish reCaptcha could learn the difference in a motorcycle and a damn moped.
Regarding his initial blessing on the original restaurant burglary charge, I thought the surrounding counties were tough on crime. Not so any longer in Madison County?
1:04 This is not only in Mississippi. This is all in Democrat ran cities who have DA's that are soft on crime. See Atlanta, New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Oakland, etc.
Glad Madison did this. With he would have been in jail instead of probation. Victim would still be alive.

We DID get out - only to see our demographically-ideal new metropolis deliberately sabotaged. Our wealthy exurb is holding, but the city's center, once walkable and trendy and envied-by-all, is basically GONE. Currently, every good place remaining in America, is being located and scrutinized. And shipments of people even worse than the one in today's story, are being "relocated" to those places.
A lesson we learned from studying the Holocaust in Italy, is that natives were able to hide and survive, while those who'd fled TO Italy (and to other countries which, initially, seemed to offer refuge), were "deported" to Auschwitz.
Stay in Mississippi. You know the terrain.
