Update on Davis Magnet carjacking case

Daniel Henry currently awaits trial nearly two years after he was arrested for carjacking and shooting a mother who was dropping off her child early one morning at Davis Magnet Elementary.   The story began on May 6, 2016.  WLBT reported:


Jackson police have arrested a suspect for shooting and carjacking a mom who was dropping her daughter off at school Friday morning. The commotion broke out around Davis Elementary School around 5:30 a.m.

Twenty-nine year-old Daniel Henry is charged with auto theft, armed robbery of an Individual and aggravated assault. He was arrested on Alabama Avenue later Friday....

Several Davis Elementary school parents, including Charlotte McGowan were dropping their children off early for a field trip to Memphis. Before the charter buses rolled off---a bullet hit a mom parked just spaces from McGowan's car.

"She ends up getting out the car, he shoots her, she starts running towards where I'm at," said McGowan. "She said the man just carjacked me and he shot me, he ended up shooting her in her hand."  Rest of article.
However, the shooting took place in Hinds County so you know what that means.  A grand jury indicted Henry six weeks later for carjacking, aggravated assault, and armed robbery.  Unfortunately, the case has been repeatedly continued since Henry was indicted.  The court apparently issued a bench warrant for his arrest February 2017 after his attorney stated he could not locate the defendant.  He is currently in custody at the Raymond Detention Center.

Nothing has been filed in the case since a scheduling order was issued in October 2017.  Henry is scheduled to go to trial on July 23, 2018.   The case is assigned to Judge Winston Kidd.

Kingfish note: The Mayor defended putting a convict on the Police ID Task Force, saying he was "deeply impacted by the criminal justice system."  Well, what about this victim?   She's been deeply impacted by the system as well in Hinds County.  Every day he awaits trial, even though he is in jail, means another day that she lives in fear, wondering if he will be indeed put away for several years.  It will be over two years since his indictment when he finally goes to trial - if the case it continued yet again.    Think about what happened.  A bunch of parents who obviously care about their children's education are dropping their kids off at Davis so the children can go on a field trip.  This thug just shows up and starts shooting because its fucking fun.  The police did its job and nailed him later that day but now he just sits around on our dime.  Forget white flight.  This is what causes black flight and that my friends, is the bottom line.

Black flight is the #1 problem Jackson faces. And I'm not making a joke. Count the number of black citizens that have moved to surrounding towns and assume they are productive, employed citizens.

Winston Kidd couldn't run a McDonald's, much less a busy docket.

You can reform a convict but can you rehabilitate a victim??

Flight isn't white or black anymore -- that's an outdated and lazy explanation. Today's flight is green. It's economic. The racial component is simply a byproduct of who does and does not have the means to evacuate.

Judge Kidd runs one of the busiest criminal dockets in the state. When the Defendant failed to follow the conditions of his bond, the judge had him arrested. The judge is doing his job.

The problem is that Judge Kidd is doing his job.

That is, if doing your job is managing a docket by delay, incompetence, and poor performance.

Where are all the peeps who yell "Justice Delayed, Justice Denied?"

You've nailed the problem. Not everyone is capable of performing at a high level in all situations and occupations. Judge Kidd may have attained his position based on a trait other than competence and is "in over his head".

Kidd will cut him loose with time served.

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.
