A preliminary was supposed to be held for Cardarow Harden yesterday in Hinds County Court. Harden stands accused of committing not one but two murders in the last year. Does anyone want to guess what happened?
JPD arrested Harden on May 12. The police affidavit accuses Harden of killing Michael Cannon on October 5, 2025. Jackson Municipal Court Judge Jeff Reynolds denied bond for the defendant. Judge Reynolds' order states Harden "was already out on bond for murder" and is "an extreme danger to the citizens" of Jackson and Hinds County.
Hinds County Court Judge Johnny McDaniels scheduled a preliminary hearing for Harden yesterday. Unfortunately, the JPD detective did not show up for court. Judge McDaniels continued the hearing to June 2 and did not set bond for Harden. The victim's mother, Rene Shakespeare, was obviously not happy with the failure of JPD to take care of business.
JPD arrested Harden in July 2025 for the 2024 murder of Marquiez Scott. The homicide took place near the intersection of Highway 80 and J.R. Lynch Sweet. Jackson Municipal Court Judge Lilli Bass set his bond at $1 million and transferred the case to Hinds County Court.
The police allege Harden made the murder a family affair as his son, Cardarow Harden, Jr., participated in the murder as well along with Mario Brown. The Court gave a million dollar bond to Brown and $250,000 to Junior.
Harden has not been indicted for the homicide. The District Attorney's Office said it has not received the file from JPD even though he was arrested nearly a year ago.

The chief needs to do another press conference I guess. How pathetic JpD is. They’re not respected by anyone
Hey Josh, Jackson is rising.
The chief is over her head. She maybe a good coach but no good players
I think you're all forgetting the part where "The District Attorney's Office said...". There ain't no weight there either, in case you need to be reminded.
Amateur hour.
Keystone cops.
4-11? Really? What’s up with the murdering midgets?
Jackson’s issues simply will not be repaired until a few thousand people move back. Capitol PD have made such a big difference in safety in their district. Now is the time.
@8:52 I don't want, I NEED a lot of what you are smoking.
Hmmm...a bit to unpack. Innocent until proven guilty, of course. But arrested for one and then another murder. It certainly seems a reasonable suggestion that Cardarow just ain't living life on the, er, non-murdering side of the line. I base this upon the near-dearth of innocent, random, and just-plain-folks arrested for even a single murder, much less two, in the Jackson metro region.
