Steal $20,000, Go Free

State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.  

Today State Auditor Shad White announced that Former Coahoma County Deputy Coroner Markeith Mosley has pleaded guilty to one count of Embezzlement in the amount of $19,289.01.

Mosley fraudulently converted to his own use a Fuelman card belonging to Coahoma County, which came into his possession by virtue of his position as an employee of Coahoma County.

“Working hand-in-hand with prosecutors on cases like this is how we’ve managed to recover more money in the last seven years than any other seven-year period in the history of the Auditor’s Office,” said State Auditor Shad White.

Mosley was prosecuted in Coahoma County Circuit Court



Kingfish note:  The defendant must repay $19,289 and enter non-adjudication.  In other words, steal nearly $20,000, get caught, go home.

Everyone is doing it. He just got stupid and greedy.
This is likely from one years audit. That’s not theft for personal use. That’s theft for resale. It’s one thing to keep a personal gas can in your government vehicle to fill up and use to top off your wife’s car or your ATV. It’s another to steal hundreds of gallons and sell it. What a moron!

Shoot at a police officer in the 8th Judicial District striking his vehicle and you get 2 years and sent home in 6 months. I would say this gentleman received the proper sentence according to 8 Judicial District standards.

I hate to say it, but it isn't unusual for the thieves in embezzlement cases to go home after they are convicted. They usually end up having to pay restitution, a fine, and any time they are given is usually suspended. It is a real shame, but it seems to be the case more times than not.

The judicial system in the Delta kind of makes it hard for Shad, or any State Auditor, to effectively do his/her job.

Get caught, go home as you say is not at all unusual in the Mississippi criminal justice system. At least he's on the hook for the money. Oftentimes the full amount of restitution is not even adjudicated.

1:30 - Shad's job is running for governor.

Hundreds? Conservatively you're talking 4000+ gallons.

But a non-adjudication means - if I'm not mistaken - the crime is not on his record.

Shad doesn't care as long as he gets to drop a press release about how he single handedly with great sleuthing skills sniffed out corruption and pounced on it.

hold your breath for those restitution payments.

The judge and DA may be cousins.

Deputy Coroner? Coahoma County's population merits a Deputy Coroner? Why not it's only taxpayers money.

He's still a convicted felon so he can't own guns

Shad doesn't get to decide the sentence.

He publishes them so y'all can know and hold the ELECTED judges and prosecutors accountable for patty cake sentences.

Tell us you don't understand what non-ajudication means in Mississippi!

"Non-adjudication allows you the opportunity to avoid the felony conviction. Only first time offenders are eligible for non-adjudication."

If a defendant is pl;aced on non-adjudicated probation they have not yet been convicted of the crime.

The guilty plea is held, and the case and charges remain open.

If the specified orders or requirements of probation are successfully completed, then the charge will be dismissed, and the defendant can apply to have the arrest expunged from their record.

2 questions:

With the amount of the embezzlement admitted
to be in excess of $19,000 by a public official is this eligible for non-adjudication?

§ 99-19-71. Expunction of misdemeanor conviction of first offender upon petition; expunction of certain felony convictions upon petition.
(1) Any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor that is not a traffic violation, and who is a first offender, may petition the justice, county, circuit or municipal court in which the conviction was had for an order to expunge any such conviction from all public records.

(i) A crime of violence as provided in Section 97-3-2;
(ii) Arson, first degree as provided in Sections 97-17-1 and 97-17-3;

Geeze, Andy...I always non-adjudication meant, you know, like...not adjudicated.

For those of you who matriculated in Leland or Shelby, "Non-adjudicated" means a court delays or withholds a final guilty verdict for certain first-time offenders, allowing them to complete probation or other conditions (like classes, community service, fines) to potentially get the charges dismissed and avoid a permanent criminal record, though the specifics vary by state (like Mississippi's DUI program).

It's, er-ah, a chance to keep a charge off your record by proving yourself, but failing means facing the original conviction and penalties.

It's like wunna them "My boy ain't did nuffin" thangs.

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.
