No Justice for Eddie

 WYAB talk show hosts Shaun Yurtkuran and Lindsey Beckam love to discuss crime and yesterday they took on one of the most notorious murders in the last 25 years in Jackson.  Yup, they discussed the killing of Eddie Williams, an employee at the old Time Out lounge.  The show is posted below.

I had talked to Matt Weghorst two or three times before he asked me to do something he knew was illegal. Then I googled him. The next few times I saw him I just gave him a passing “Hey how’s it going?” He died about 6 months after that.

I spent a lot of time at Time Out in the late 90’s. Eddie was everybody’s favorite server. By ‘02 I wasn’t going out much anymore, but happened to go there a night or two after the incident. All the table tents were covered with Eddie’s picture saying R.I.P., so I asked a waitress what happened. I’ve heard many different versions of the story since then, but I know I was told that Eddie had been at Time Out drinking off duty that night.

I listened to this whole thing. Is this actually being broadcast somewhere? It was a rambling discussion where they stepped on each other often, and the story was anything but linear. Wow. Is this a podcast or something?

@6:37 Everyone wants to fake being a big time influencer with an online digital media empire until they make it. These two literal, self-important nobodies might as well have been sitting in some dive bar, reminiscing over some happy hour drinks.

7:18- It happens everywhere. Put on headphones, buy a mic, add some light and all of a sudden you might give the perception that people are paying attention to you.

Social media is funny that way.

There's a reason broadcast journalism is a four-year degree. This chaotic presentation is a good example of the need for that course of study.

Just letting you young bucks out there know - the hotter they are, the more cray-cray they are. The narrator not the subject of the narration.

How embarrassing for them. Zero self-awareness. I know who this now—the first attempt was the stupid Matlin/Carvelle spinoff that resulted in a meltdown of some sort.

This was a really bad podcast. They should be kicked off air.

I remember this case well. Knew some of the people that worked there at the time. I’ve heard all sorts of theories and speculations.

That being said, this was a TERRIBLE podcast. I don’t know who these two people are, but they were unprepared and their conversation was unlistenable.

Perhaps the case needs revisited, but this broadcast, or whatever it was, didn’t shed any new light on the case or situation.

No background of the story. No explanation of the people involved and their relationships, what they did, who there were?

It was like a bad comedy open mic night at a bar.

Deut 22:5 “A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Since they are both MAGA, that attempted spin was completely fake.

Yes, the podcast is trash, but can we get back to the story. There has been so much speculation over the years and certainty on who done it and never went to trial.. Lets hear more

Absolutely terrible podcast. I am embarrassed for them.

It was worth reading all these just to hear Shaun get called MAGA.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
