Here is copy of Irby gag order, file not in Circuit Clerk's office

Copy of Judge Green's order

I linked a copy of Judge Green's gag order in the Irby case. It states:
"This Court reminds and Orders (Court's emphasis) all officers of the Court to strictly comply with Rule 9.01, Pretrial Publicity, of the Mississippi Uniform Rules of Circuit Court and County Court Practice or be subject to sanctions by the court..."

I also included in the link a copy of the notice for the "Omnibus Hearing" set for February 15, 2010. It should be noted that the Irby file is NOT in the Hinds County Circuit Clerk's office. In its place was a red file containing the above order and notices. It is unknown if Judge Green sealed the file or is only reviewing it and will return it to the public domain. If Judge Green sealed it, such judicial conduct should not be allowed to stand as the public has a VERY STRONG interest in what takes place in this case. The public has a right to read the indictment and any appropriate motions or other documents. Such conduct gives an appearance that actually harms Mrs. Irby's cause and thus harms her defense. Judge Green should return the file to the Circuit Clerk.

Note: Calls to Judge Green's adminstrator were placed today. There was no answer.

Seems pretty straight forward, but lets have the attorneys go ahead and earn their hourly wage.

To add to the comments on NMC...i don't feel comfortable with attorneys in general - so i will leave my comments here...read - they stick to their ethics when comfortable - any outrage by the legal community should be met with a great deal of skepticism... remember, they NEVER, NEVER, NEVER turn on their own, they don't s@#@ where they eat, and they NEVER eat their own...ask any attorney if they have ever submitted an ethics complaint to the bar...WHEN they are required under their professional obligation to do so...so sad...and for the attorneys barred out there...tell me one instance...

You guys are just trying to kill Mrs. Irby just like fate killed the two doctors. Shame on your blood lust.

The file and defense motions can be used to help Mrs. Irby , Mr. Orr. I think perhaps you missed that. And,it doesn't yet appear a certainty that the file is sealed as KF stated, it may be under review in another location.

But, FATE didn't kill two doctors. You may need to look up the word. Fate is a destiny that is predetermined. By your logic, every murder would be fated as the victims were always doomed so there'd be no need to have laws at all. There would be no need for personal responsibility as we'd have no control over our fates and all victims are doomed.

Even after being charged with a DUI in the past, even after being charged with disorderly conduct and assault that was dismissed, Mrs. Irby still did not heed those warnings. Those warnings didn't prevent her from getting into that car after drinking yet again. That, Sir, is a CHOICE she made after being given a better understanding of the potential consequences of drinking than many would have.

8:48 I don't know of any professional group that polices itself very well, but I would suggest more lawyers are disciplined by the bar than disciplinary actions taken in most other professions...not often enough but more than most.

Mr. Orr: No one has done anything to Karen Irby. She did it to herself when she chose to get in her car drunk, drive on busy Old Canton Road like it was a race tract, and cross two lanes hitting the vehicle of two innocent people causing them to burn to their deaths. No......she definitely did it to herself.

Mr. Orr, KF has been extremely responsible and fair on this story. Everything is well documented and he provides the documents. He has deleted comments that are over the top or gossipy in nature. You can't point to one example of anyone trying to " kill" Mrs. Irby.

Our Nation is founded on " free will" as our Founding Fathers didn't believe "fate" determined that a person is born a king or a serf but can determine their own fate by their actions and labor.

Surely, you don't tell your clients that their financial status is a matter of " fate" and that your advice can do nothing to improve that fate. Or perhaps you believe fate has chosen you as the vehicle for them to achieve their financial destiny and if they don't, it's not your fault as it's their fate to have their investments fail.

Mr. Orr, are you somehow connected to Mrs. Irby that you would take the position that people are out to get her. She is the one who has malice inside of her. Why don't you look at her arrest history and ask if it was FATE for those she attacked and if they had a choice. Or were they VICTIMS just like the two who she killed. She has been killing people's reputation by her words for years. She deserves everything that is coming to her.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
