Lumumba, Owens, & Banks to Appear in Court Tomorrow

A hearing will be held tomorrow in USA v. Jody Owens, II, Chokwe A Lumumba, and Aaron Banks.  A federal grand jury indicted them in November on public corruption charges.  The docket states: 

NOTICE as to Jody E. Owens, II, Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Aaron B. Banks: Status Conference set for March 7, 2025 at 10:00 AM CST in Courtroom 5A (Jackson) Jordan before District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III.(SP)

Such status conferences are fairly routine in federal cases.  U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan, III has not set a trial date for the three defendants.  He asked them to provide a range of dates for trial so it is conceivable it could be discussed tomorrow.

But, but, Chowke has stated that he is innocent. Right?

Best advice I have for Chokwe is DON'T GO TO COURT!

See what happens.

Why is he running for mayor? Does he not have any shame?

If the trio wants a speedy trial, they need to engage the services of Rudy Warnock's attorney.

I'm so glad that this case is assigned to Judge Jordan. He'll move it along and won't tolerate shenanigans from attorneys or defendants.

Yo Chowke, considering that you are innocent you don't have to show up in court. Trust me. Right?

Anonymous said...

Has nothing to do with Warnock's attorney but rather the fact that it is in front of Judge Wingate who once took nine years to enter a judgment on a jury verdict. The last time the 5th Circuit took him to task for ridiculous delays, Wingate blamed his staff and fired them all.

Remember the best advice you have ever received for free from an Attorney. Take the plea brother.

Since Lumumba is "... not going to walk around as if [he is] guilty ..." I reckon we will get treated to his customary pompous-ass preening and speechifying, accompanied by the fawning cadre of hangers on.

Most of the fawning admirers have jobs in his administration. You know they aren't clocking out to follow him to court.

I hope so. But I am disappointed no trial date has been set. Feels like everybody is just sitting on everything and wont see a trial till next year. That sucks.

You believe they ever clocked in?

He needs more time to raise money for his defense fund. Or will he / they defend themselves?

If what my friends at the FBI have suggested, they don’t do the dog and pony show raids in the middle of the day unless they know they have you. Sucks for them.

Why would Lumumba fly all the way to Florida to be given 5/$10,000 checks from residents of Jackson?

Don't assume logic has anything to do with this. He seems smart on the surface, but he's not.

There sure is a lot of CDS in here. Chokwe will be fine, he can drag out this court case a few years until the FBI is disbanded. Trump already put an end to the foreign corrupt practices act. Even if the FBI doesn’t go away, I’m not sure the alleged conduct is even a crime with all the recent changes made to protect Donald and and his gang. This all seems to be official acts of Chokwe that the Supreme Court opines can not be made criminally liable.

I don't see any CDS above, but there sure is some acute TDS, Biden (Xiden) lover.

Chowke's "no-show" employees only show up to court to support him in front of the local Chowke loving media.

10:11 - Thanks for the Friday morning bong-theory. You're very mistaken. Hide and watch.

None of the Defendants appeared in court today. The trial is set for July 13, 2026. Judge Jordan will not move the trial unless an act of God occurs 👁️⚖️✴️

hahahahaha thanks for the giggle

2026? This is absolutely rediculous.

Anonymous said...

Saw that their trial will be in July 2025. Of course this will be not enough time so a continuance until 2026 will be asked for and granted.

There are over 44k docs, 500 hours of audio, and countless text messages. The government wanted early 2026. The defense wanted October 2026. Judge Jordan set it for the summer of next year. It is what they were initially agreeing to. Or so I heard

They're done. Cooked. Even Gumflapper's Detroit legal pals need to get paid. He better call Rukia up ASAP and come up with some hustle they haven't plied before. Because dear Bro is looking up at some major cash flow problems.

Anonymous said...

If Rukia can’t pay her property taxes, allegedly, I doubt she’ll have the cash to help pay for Chucky’s defense. It will easily be over $100k. The trial is expected to last 6 weeks 👁️⚖️✴️

If Rukia has any sense at all, which she hasn’t shown yet, she will quietly pack her bags and relocate to some other democrat he’ll hole. She can hitch her wagon to some other grifter, but she’ll probably have to earn her keep.

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.
