Statutory and Judicial definition of Manslaughter with the element of Culpable Negligence

97-3-47. Homicide; all other killings.
"Every other killing of a human being, by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, and without authority of law, not provided for in this title, shall be manslaughter."

§ 97-3-25. Homicide; penalty for manslaughter.
"Any person convicted of manslaughter shall be fined in a sum not less than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned in the county jail not more than one year, or both, or in the penitentiary not less than two years, nor more than twenty years."

"Culpable negligence is defined as "the conscious and wanton or reckless disregard
of the probabilities of fatal consequences to others as a result of the wilful creation of an unreasonable risk thereof." Smith v. State, 197 Miss. 802, 816, 20 So. 2d 701, 705, (1945)."

JJ can also report there is no agreed upon sentence. That will be entirely up to Judge Green.

So, she may get less than 10, which is not enough. 20 would be appropriate, 40 would be spot on. What are the victim's families saying? I wonder. Do they have any say in the plea process?

Anonymous said...

So KF-how many years do you think she'll get AND how many do you think she'll serve?

Anonymous said...

My guess would be 10 yrs for each death and served concurrently and probably serve about 7 yrs or unless the state runs outr of money and let all the criminals go early.

(but I'm not a lawyer and dont know anything about this)

WAPT is saying they will cover the Karen Irby procedings live this morning at 10am. I'm not surprised by her admitting her quilt. There was no defense or excuse for her behavior. She and Stuart were both drunk and fighting in the car when she lost complete control. It's just too bad he isn't going to jail, too, because he is as quilty as she is.

Sources told 16 WAPT News Friday that Karen Irby will plead guilty to two counts of culpable negligent manslaughter.

Irby is charged with two counts of depraved heart murder and one count of aggravated assault in connection with a February 2009 car crash that killed doctors Daniel Pogue and Lisa Dedousis and injured Irby’s husband, Stuart. Depraved heart murder is causing death as a result of reckless actions.

Officials said sentencing in the case can range from two to 20 years on each count.

A hearing in the case is set for 10 a.m., just days before Karen Irby is scheduled to stand trial. WAPT and WAPT.com will provide live coverage of the hearing.

Two weeks. Judge Green should come under the media spotlight on this one. That would be the only way that Karen will serve what she deserves. Otherwise, this is just money buying influence.

What does a guilty plea do to the civil lawsuits that have been filed?

Don't abuse fair use 9:09 AM. Provide a link.

Let's hope Karen rolls on Stuart's negligence in the civil trial though I'd bet a settlement in that matter is also forthcoming.

Anonymous said...

She will serve time, maybe. And he will have to pay the lawsuit settlement, maybe. Doesn't seem enough punishment for 2 self entitled egoists to pay for snuffing out such promising young lives.

I promise not to abuse fair use as long as you promise to try not to abuse your stupid button.

QUILTY, huh? I think you mean GUILTY.

It is obvious your are challenged. Let me help your sorry dumbass out. Here is the link to the WAPT story.

Mercy, 9:35, whats with the unnecessary criticism and name calling? This is a freakin' blog, not a pc technology class.

Betcha they do 'time served' and use her 'mansion arrest' in Eastover as time.

Oh, she'll have to go to therapy or anger management or something stupid. And serve on a couple boards for 'community service'.

Just wonder how many paper sacks of money will change hands for all this travesty.

She needs the needle.

WJTV stream has Karen from the front.

Now live on WAPT.

9:54, you need some anger management yourself, and perhaps some mental health treatment. Not condoning Irby's actions at all, but we don't give "the needle" unless it is capital murder, you barbarian.

Anonymous said...

No anger management needed dearie.

Just justice.

No justice, no peace.

Those two doctors BURNED ALIVE. Karen's been busy getting mani/pedi's for the past year.

Justice?

Not in this country. Not if you're a rich white woman.

IF deliberately driving down a street in a neighborhood at 110+mph isn't pre-meditated murder Nothing is apparently.

No justice, no peace!

That DA has GOT to go! Obvious payoff here. Obvious to anyone that breathes air!

Anonymous said...

What a crock! Needless to say by May 11th the state's idiots will figure out a way to recommend time served and give her a medal

Anonymous said...

Good grief! She stays on house arrest and the judge said she's not to drive or drink alcohol/

She's BEEN driving! And, if drug/alcohol testing hasn't been part of her house arrest so far, then what the Hell?

And, what is this " new" case?

Anonymous said...

In the past was not driving an actual condition of House Arrest or did 'we' all think it should have been ? Was Judge Green just making sure it was covered since it may not have been specifically covered during the first go round of House Arrest ?

Anonymous said...

She admitted to having TWO glasses of wine!

Anonymous said...

The wine glasses at the JCC must be pretty big.

Anonymous said...

I wonder what the servers at JCC would say about how much she had to drink....

Anonymous said...

It doesn't count as 2 glasses if you keep filling them over and over.

It is AMAZING that her man (STUART)is not standing by his woman....It shows his backbone or lack thereof and possibly his admission of guilt..These poor children have still got to put up with the abuse from their parents that are documented in Police records...Both Stuart and Karen should move and not be accepted in our society...It appears Karen will already be moving, I just Hope I never have to cross paths with either one of these people again. Neither Karen or Stuart have come out and shown any remorse for for the SLAYING of these two fine people. They are DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!

Kingfish said...

Stuart should've been there. I don't care if he was surrounded by bodyguards, using a walker or wheelchair, an accompanying nurse, and a couple of lawyers, he should've been there.

Anonymous said...

12:19, you have a valid point. Have either Stuart or Karen expressed regret, if not culpability, in the deaths of the doctors?

Meanwhile, back in richtown, I'm sure Karen is getting buttloads of soothing 'Oh, you poor thing!' and 'Oh, how brave you were!' for her 'ordeal' this morning. Jackson society has no shame.

Anonymous said...

dont you think there's been a deal struck...by Karen and Stuart? K takes all the blame. S will file for divorce. There will be a BIG settlement for her. The truth and the Irby story will not be spoken in open court. No light on JPD's conduct. all is folded and tied with a neat bow.

Anonymous said...

Stuart Irby is a POS for no other reason than not being there for the mother of his child. Period.

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.
