Contempt for the Contempt?

 Attorney Lawrence Blackmon asked for donations after Hinds County Circuit Judge Faye Peterson fined him no less than $6,300 on 63 counts of contempt of court Friday.  



Blackmon won a victory for his client, Charlie Thomas. Thomas stood trial for first-degree murder in the shooting death of Jamichel Jackson at Aces "Gentlemen's" Club in April 2021.   The jury acquitted Thomas.  However, Thomas was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm.  He will be sentenced for that conviction at a later date.

ok and he got 63 contempt of court convictions because why?

The guy is asking for the people to pay his fine? You have to be shitting me! The family law firm makes MILLIONS, and he wants ordinary people to pay his fine. SCREW him and the horse he rode in on. The Blackmon's are like a membership in the Jelly of the Month Club, it is the gift that keeps on giving.

whats the magic number to get thrown out of court?

Tell him to go get a Payday loan - he can put up one of the Bentley's for collateral.

Don't have any idea if he deserved the contempt charges and fine or not, but to hear a Blackmon wanting contributions to cover a personal debt is the height of ridiculousness.

i didn't hear him ask for anything.

Sure would be nice to know how he managed those counts of contempt

What the hell is he saying?

I wouldn’t think any contempt of court charge would only be $100.

Don’t care. No sympathy for A Blackmon or anyone associated with one.
Show us next idiot of the day.

Right? That was like watching 'The View': all talking at once - which may be a way to obscure the fact that none have anything valid to say. I've tried to watch 'The View', but can't endure more than 30 seconds of that simultaneous squawking.

Apple > Tree. Just like his daddy. Looks identical, runs that mouth just like a Blackmon, prances around, thinks he's got a following. I forgot to mention....No Speekah de Engleesh.

Maybe he can get it from Comelia Walker since she won the twerk contest at TopGolf recently. Any word on her now dormant case with Supreme Court?

I moved from Jackson to get away from this Sh*t. I moved to Ridgeland, but it became a clone of Jackson. I then moved to the suburbs of Madison into a very nice subdivision. I just wonder how long it will be before I have to move again to get away from this cr*p?

Not nearly as long as you think it will.

6:05 I don’t know 2:39 but what I saw on the video is shameful! I live in the pine belt and would never hire someone of Mr Blackmon’s character! We have to do better! SMH

Most trial lawyers go their entire careers without a single citation for contempt of court.

A few loudmouths who can’t control themselves seem to wear it like a badge of honor.

Maybe it’s just theatrics to cover up for the lack of legal chops. Go read some cases and statutes and maybe you won’t have to act like an ass.

You are not Ed Blackmon and Ed didn’t get popular by making an ass of himself, he’s a kick ass and a damn good litigator! Young buck slow your roll and cool them jets! What you are doing ain’t cute!

All those dramatic hand gestures yet never pulled his pockets out. Needs to wear pearls to clutch and practice playing the air-violin.

Is there a journalist who might report on WHY he was found in contempt? Is that not relevant to the story?

Kingfish said...

Well, unless you were in the courtroom, it will take a few days.

anonymous said...

this was just a little post verdict celebration out on the street after winning a big trial. he was just hamming it up for his clients friends and family. its something to celebrate.
you people on this blog who have never been successful at anything just can't understand that.
when the haters on this blog want to celebrate something they get in their monster ford , chevy and ram jacked up pickup trucks and go out into traffic and see how many other drivers they can intimidate.
the white trash attorney hating element of mississippi has really shown themselves on this one.
why dont you tough guys go find something to occupy your time .
may i suggest a job?

To Attorney Lawrence Blackmon did you get enough likes and clicks, I hope it was worth it!
As ole Jerry Clower would say”, a public display of ignorance”.
Mr Blackmon you know better!

8:01 says what everybody already knows. He is absolutely RIGHT.

How classless and embarrassing.
Of course...This will play well among his base.

I'm actually impressed that the defenders of Blackmon's antics are able to read and write effectively enough to comment on this. Exceeded my expectations by a mile.

When Attorney Blackmon asked for donations, it’s not like donations a regular person of need would ask for! In slang he is saying he is a baller and shot caller in the Courts of Hinds County. Now stay with me, I can ensure you that Mr Blackmon would not act this way in Desoto, Madison or Rankin Counties. No I am not bashing his credentials nor his way around the courtroom just the hood like demeanor in the streets. This nonsense must not make it back on the street only in the confines of the court.

A while back Dennis Sweet IV came within a hair's breadth of getting cuffed in a courtroom outside of Hinds County. He was showing out and accusing everyone of being racists.

This young crop was born on third base and think they hit a triple. It's so ironic that their parents worked like crazy to provide upward-mobility, but the kids love the hood. I guess they just never had to live there, so they don't know any better.

6:43 ditto. Law school paid for, books paid for, office and furnishing provided, staff provided for, and all he had to do was just be a good person! Young man have a little decency! If you have a problem with the prosecutor and Judge there is recourse and not on the streets with onlookers that don’t know the rules of law.
Control yourself in public, you represent a well known name in the legal field. You need to make a public apology, show them fools on the streets with you the better man.
PS do something with your hood hand signals and your nasty potty mouth.

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.
