Tell It to the Judge

 Attorney Lawrence Blackmon has some explaining to do after he failed to appear in Madison County Circuit Court yesterday.   Circuit Judge Dewey Arthur noted in continuing a trial yesterday: 



However, Judge Arthur was not through with the young attorney. The learned jurist issued another order: 




This is not Blackmon's first time to get in trouble in court.   Hinds County Circuit Judge Faye Peterson fined him $6,300 Friday after finding him in contempt of court no less than 63 times.  

The case at hand is State v. Kelvin Feazell.   A Madison County grand jury indicted Feazell for felon in possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute while in possession of a firearm as a subsequent drug offender,  possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute (cocaine) and habitual offender.  Feazell was previously convicted of selling cocaine and meth.  

Kingfish note: Just curious.  Is Mr. Blackmon going to play a song that says "F*** the Judge" on his Facebook page?

Is there anymore background information on how he could be found in contempt 63 times?

How much time and money has the county washed on the jerks? I don’t mind spending the money if they are in jail. They are making fools out of the court system, especially the various judges.

As soon as the "clown" left town, another moved right into his place.

Stupid unforced errors. His parents should be kicking his ass.

12:29 Actually, he probably learned that type of in-your-face response from them. When your parents reach "that level," you probably feel beyond reproach

Hopefully some qualified judge will fine this guy at least enough to recover court costs, prisoners expenses (additional food, housing, transportation). Of course, no component judge needs to hear this from a non attorney layman).

Sounds like he already F'ed around and is about to find out that Judge Arthur doesn't play games. Good luck bud!

Its a shame MS doesn't have rules in place to remove attorneys like this.

He probably associates with lots of ignorant people. It's so easy to become arrogant when you do. Law schools don't teach that in criminal law class. They should.

Well you'll have to show me where Ed or Babs pulled a stunt in that judicial vicinity. Chokwe Sr pulled that sort of shit but don't recall ever seeing it from Ma and Pa Blackmon.

Once again the MS Bar beclowns themselves as a tacit endorser of this sort of behavior through their continued tolerance of egregious acts committed by people admitted to the bar.

It’s just marketing. One call

What is a component judge?

@4:44. I agree with this. For some certain clients, this type of bravado is good marketing. Street cred is important.

If Kingfish or any of those commenting would do research, you would find 1) Lawrence is not Bab's son and 2) Lawrence did not grow up in their household; thus, when Kingfish posted Lawrence's Facebook page posts, Lawrence's last name was Goodwin. Even if he were their son or he grew up in their household where they may have had some influence, when you are talking about a man, who can tell him what to do? People do better. Aren't we all responsible for our own sins?

Kingfish said...

Well, dummy, I never said he was her son nor did I mention Mrs Blackmon in these posts. I know she is not his mother, hence why I never mentioned her.

Too bad he ain't in the legislature so he can use that excuse to delay hearings and trials like Ed and Barbara used to do.

Anonymous said...

To allude that he's not fully in the Blackmon fold is laughable.

But he is in the Legislature.

7:14am it’s sad how we take things so serious, most people that use or will use the Blackmon’s Law Firm Services in the future will not go on gossip/commentators! Ed and Barbara are damn good litigator’s and kick ass Attorneys. Most people take anything negative and run with it. I know how to read any article from any source and take what information from it and process to what is credible, right, wrong and believable.
Lawrence is a grown ass man and needs to be held accountable for his uncouth and irresponsible actions not the Honorable Ed Blackmon or others!

I've said before Ed Blackmon is probably my favorite attorney to watch in court. I learn something every time I watch him and yeah, I would hire him if my ass was in a serious criminal charge.

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.
