Surprise: Kidd Pleads Guilty to Two Murders

Update (11:05 AM): Kidd pleaded guilty at his arraignment this morning in Rankin County Circuit Court. Circuit Judge Dewey Arthur sentenced Kidd to two life sentences without parole.  District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement: 

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families and loved ones of William “Billy” Morris and Christian Storey.  We are grateful for their cooperation, as well as the hard work of our law enforcement agencies, in bringing about today’s judgment and sentence on this defendant.  The Defendant will serve the remainder of his life in prison, with no eligibility for parole.

The Rankin County grand jury indicted Matthew Brian Kidd for capital murder in the August 28 deaths of William Morris and Christian Storey.   


 The police report provides gruesome details on what allegedly took place that fatal night. 

 Rankin County deputies and Brandon police arrested Kidd August 29 at a Brandon hotel.  A desk clerk recognized the suspect from media coverage of the two murders and notified the police.  

Rankin-Madison County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett wasted no time in presenting the case to the grand jury and obtained indictments for capital murder and first-degree murder on September 3.  Kidd has not yet been arraigned.

This just boggles me. Every photo I see of this guys makes me believe he has no remorse at all and this photo with Bailey, both grinning like they're on a fishing trip... what the actual fuck is going on?

The sheriff (Goon Squad CEO) with the shit-eating grin looks like the perp's newest best friend (BFF for Gen*).

Word is Matt wanted to go back to jail because his main squeeze on the inside was giving it to someone else. So now they can be together forever. To each their own I guess.

Go Fund Me account has been set up for the purchase of some 6X vests. The money will not be entrusted to Bailey. He'd only blow it on donuts.

The sheriff with the shit eating grin is nuts, 2 people lost their lives. Honestly Rankin county folks the sheriff for many reasons needs to be recalled. This is crazy having a sheriff represent you with all his baggage.

Hope he can smile like that when the needle goes in.

So we have details on the first guy. What is the connection or situation with the second guy, Storey?

He's not getting a needle. He's getting to suckle the taxpayer's teet for the rest of his life.

gotta wonder if the high sheriff is in the same gang? that would explain alot.

This may be true. Why would anyone plea guilty at an arraignment for capital crimes?

This picture is peak SIP in so many ways.

Most people would look at this and think the RCSO Meal Team just cuffed a sink pooper at McDonalds.

Sadly, no.

I would bet that he pled guilty to avoid the death penalty.

He ran unopposed. Anyone else might have won if they ran against him.

Too bad he committed these crimes in Rankin County. If he had done this in Hinds, he would have gotten away with it. JPD would still be looking for suspects.

Too bad. Anyone who kills a man over a broken down pickup truck truly deserves the needle.

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.
