WWF on WLBT



WLBT Reporter Cheryl Lasseter takes some heat from Janice Singleton but Lasseter has the last laugh:
"JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Silence from Janice Singleton as she left Federal Court Friday with a sentence of 52 months in prison and a restitution of more than $243,000.
The former corrections officer swindled $360,000 from 50 inmates by stealing their personal information and filing bogus tax returns.
Her dignified manner at sentencing is a turnaround from her attitude in February 2007, when Singleton, her sister, and her mother converged on a WLBT News crew, shouting expletives.
Singleton forced a camera out of our reporter's hand. The dust-up went on for about ten minutes.
A few weeks prior, the U.S. Secret Service had raided her business and seized records. Our news crew had visited to ask while she was still operating despite being charged with identity theft and fraud

Cheryl gets a pat on the back. She doesn't back up one iota from all that noise thrown her way. Very impressive, lady!

She had some good folks there with her as well. Damn good job staying cool in all of that.

It's people like this Obama wants to cover in his healthcare program. Worthless, no-goods that can't get off their lazy asses.

...and we wonder why Mississippi is always looked at as a third rate by the rest of the country! People like this are exactly why our country, and our state, are in thecondition it's in.

Oh my God that was beautiful, on so many levels.

I loved how they all eventually turned on each other at one point or another during the 7 minutes. The one in the nice pink sweater and heels seemed to be pretty composed, must be the family grad.

Of highschool.

Damn good job, Cheryl.

Stay classy Singleton family.

Kudos to Cheryl!
Ah yes, now I remember why I left Mississippi! OMG.

I imagine Ms. Singleton will be quite popular in prison, being her crime was basically stealing from inmates. Her peers in prison might somehow resent that. Just saying.

Please don't kid yourself into believing that people like this only reside in Mississippi. You can find them anywhere and everywhere in this country. Why? Because our corrupt government run systems keep providing them the opportunity to live this way. Where is the incentive to do better? Notice they were all at home middle of the day. How is that possible? Because they can go to they mailbox every month on the first and get they check that someone owed them for being black.
How pathetic but even more pathetic that people actually believe that this scum only lives in Mississippi....The sterotypes will never end.

We should get Cheryl to kick this bozo's ass.

I bet not one of them in the video has worked a decent job in their lives, and all of them expect the government to take care of them while they sit on their a$$e$ having more babies. How pitaful, and to think there are literally thousands in the Jackson area just like them waiting to get something for nothing. Makes me sick. Thanks, Cheryl, for reminding me how sorry some people are.

This is my most favorite thread ever.

It's so comical to me in the last few minutes of tape, it's obvious the adrenalin and outrage is wearing thin on the Singleton's. They begin to lose momentum and the frenzy just runs out of steam. Cheryl & crew didn't freak out and flee for their lives like they thought they would. All they can kinda muster at the end is "Bee-itch". They really faded out. That's a big fail.

Kudos to Cheryl and crew.

Geez..OUR criminals behave ever so much better...Ed Peters , Bernie Ebbers, Linda Harmon,young George Bell...
Some designer clothes and an etiquette course would make ALL the difference!
Maybe it could include a lesson in how to rip off the public and make it look like you're working at a real job. And, another class on how to finance your drug habit without a trust fund. Or a class in how church going and pretending to be a Christian can mask your dark side?

And, if she'd been more educated, she could have ripped off millions instead of thousands...how stupid.

And, if she's gonna resort to violence, the least she can do is keep it on her children's athletic field where it belongs!

OUR criminals are SO much smarter!

People in MS are some of the most racist and judgemental people in the country...and most of your ignorant comments are proof of this...black and white

Thanks for reading.

This has nothing to do with race, people!!!! People of ALL COLORS receive the same benefits that you think only BLACKS receive. Wake up!!!! Everything has to be about race. Don't put a whole background of people into a category that one family is displaying.

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.

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.
