Heroine of the Day

 A quick-thinking prosecutor saved a domestic violence victim from her assailant during a hearing.  The hearing was held via zoom.  St. Joseph County (MI) prosecutor Deborah Davis noticed the victim kept looking to the side during the hearing.  She suspected the defendant was present in the victim's home in violation of the no-contact order.  Watch the drama as it unfolds in the video posted below. 


The Rest of the story.

If we had a prosecutor and a few judges such as these in Hinds Country the crime rate would be reduced drastically. Did I hear correctly, $10,000,000 bond? That defendant is a real dumba@$, in more ways than one.

My question is whether the complainant was under duress or did she allow him into the apartment/house/room with her. If the defendant was, by threat, holding her against her will is he also guilty of kidnapping?

During this pandemic remote or zoom hearings have become widespread and they are real opportunities for abuse. All too often court hearings are handled so routinely that judges and prosecutors hardly notice the demeanor or circumstances involved in the hearing. This prosecutor realized this and was really paying attention. Domestic abuse can never become routine. All judges and prosecutors should see this.

"Did I hear correctly, $10,000,000 bond?" That's what I thought I heard as well. At least he can't bitch about not getting a Bond.

The original video showed the victim. She kept turning her head to the side and was clearly uncomfortable.

@6:29 - it doesn't matter if she invited him in. That dude was under a no contact order.

Yep. This is what I call a special kind of stupid. I’m not sure why this moron wasn’t found in contempt of court for being somewhere he shouldn’t have been, namely his victims home. It happens all over the country, guys who fail the Darwin test and don’t realize it’s best to just move on. Immature thugs who believe they can force someone to forgive them when they become violent and suffer with numbskulliosis. Sad really.

1:49 AM and 10:00, no there is no $10,000,000 (ten million) bond involved. I guess we can forgive 1:49 for hearing this since he was watching it eating his cheetos early in the morning, but...

The Judge said "your bond is cancelled. IF you had ten million, you couldn't bond out". There is no bond any longer, and the ten million was kinda like our Mayor's made up numbers, but this time the Judge was using the exaggeration in an educational manner.

The bond was revoked and the judge told him he couldn't get out if he had 10 million dollars, he meant that there was no bond no matter how much money he had.

Thank you f or that explanation, 2:05. I too was confused.

Actually it DOES indeed matter. There's a big difference between violating a 'no contact' order and kidnapping. Like 25 years difference.

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.
