Jackson Jambalaya

We are about to find out just how smart Lumumba and Owens think they are.

Agree, Banks pleads and Jody and Chuck go to trial.

For the sake of his children Lumumba should plead though thinking about anything beyond his own personal aggrandizement would be out of character for him.

Plea deadline is more advisory

Egos rule…their faith in the one juror and the hype….dice will roll.

They have too much pride to accept a plea deal, will go to court, loose, and get 3x the sentence if they would of just taken a plea deal

Fortunately for Owens he is only a "part-time DA" so a trial shouldn't negatively impact his part-time gig. Right?

Stokes told him the same thing months ago.

They're gonna fight it in court. Id bet an expensive lunch on it.

Banks will plead! He has time to work on a new memoir, “ How to kick my own ass”

I'm betting he won't step down even if convicted.

Shout out to Sister R!

Speaking of the Baby Chok, what's his sorry ass been up to lately, other than preparing for his trial?

If Owens can plead to a misdemeanor and testify for the State, he'd be crazy not to take it.

I think Lumumba is probably betting on jury nullification. If he can manage to slip one of his dad's old buddies through voir dire and get them on the jury, he'll probably get it.

Agreed. Banks will plea and agree to testify. The other two believe their own propaganda.

Why should Owens step down? The precedent has been set. He is/will follow the play book established by others ... deny accountability, blame others, get convicted, be impeached, appeal, sue. Its a strategy that been effective for others, why not him?

Lumumba will never plead guilty. He considers himself The Chosen One, like Obama

Jackson is a clown show and everyone but Jackson knows this. The laughing stock of MS.

In simple terms, there is no (real-world) deadline for a deal except the jury reading the guilty verdict. Even then...

As far as guessing what each of these crooked little shits will do, that's easy. I can guarantee what they will do - fuck up some more. These morons are essentially common street criminals and obviously, common street criminals rarely if ever make good life choices. They painted themselves with multiple coats of loser and no one is interested in stripping them down and refinishing cheap particleboard.

Jody, go get your family member, Dennis Sweet, to represent you. Go, go! Run, run! Haul ass!

All three defendants are a barrel shy of a rodeo clown. Lumumba may be getting advice to plead but is he too c.s. of Owens, in or out of prison? I think he pleads and testifies against the big fish for a reduced sentence.

Hey Jody, get permission to go to DC and get White House strategy to beat conviction if you've not already done so. Just say your alcoholism disease caused you to use the wrong head. Apologize and promise to do better. Also, don't forget to add that Tiger Woods is your cousin and he's going to refer you to the rehad center he went to as soon you're acquitted. This should work. You can pay me later if there's any money left. Cows will work also given these high ass beef prices!

The wrinkle with this story is that a state didn't radicalradically reinterpret statute and then have to immediately turn around and tell the business community they wouldnt persue charges against anyone else. Not only that but have the highest State court be incredulous about the prosecution.

Working on his next racist grift.

Lumumba is too arrogant to take a plea. He thinks he can convince a jury that he isn't guilty. Owens really doesn't have much choice but to go to trial. The evidence against him is pretty overwhelming, and I am guessing the Feds aren't offering him a good enough deal to warrant pleading guilty.

They gon be like Carly Gregg and will come back begging for their plea deal once the get that dinosaur time!

Besides Trump, what others?

If you think Lumumba is going to get a jury he likes you’ve never seen a federal court jury. Plus, where exactly is he popular? Not Jackson—he didn’t win a single precinct.

I think maybe they should start drafting their Pardon Requests now...
