Damn…just damn

oh my word. I didn't see that coming.

Further proof he's been postponing the inevitable. They knew it all along and he wasn't man enough to stand up and take his punishment.

What a SCUMBAG!! He played the game, got caught, and tries to off himself?? Has his family not been through enough? And gonna leave three kids doing it? F&ck him. What a shame.

Further proof he's a sad weak man.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

I came close to posting this possibility when this blog released the verdict.

He needs to be someplace where folks can keep an eye on him.

I think his bond will be revoked

So, if “a jury convicted him on multiple counts of public corruption,” why was his sorry ass not in jail? We commoners would be, wouldn’t we?

Any chance that convict Rudy Warnock’s previous dealings with the Madison County Board of STupervisors might lead to additional prosecutions?

And why does the pic of Rudy, Espy and their wives dressed like gangsters…keep popping into my mind’s eye?

Madison County has been highjacked by corrupt Democrats; what a _______ shame.

This is sad. I happened to be around him one time maybe 3 or 4 years ago. He was ebullient and friendly and picked up the liquor tab.

That's sad. It's never too late to turn one's life around, no matter what a person has done.

I know a number of people shaking in their boots. Especially a family member from an Ex Madison county sheriff years ago.

You are correct. Sad and WEAK but definitely not a man.

He could get his bond revoked.

He's not in a position to make money for them, anymore. This is Mississippi, where daddies are considered to be ONLY good for getting-money-out-of. Ever hear your grandmother saying, "He was NO GOOD."? Well, that's what THAT means. In Mississippi, most grandmothers, regardless of race, class, or religion, have said it. And that's what they meant. "He was a good man", means he died with a big insurance policy (but he's out of maw maw's hair, now).

Having HIM as "uh duaaayuiiiiiid" (I'm attempting the North Madison County White Trash pronunciation, here, but need London's Professor Henry Higgins to help me chart all those vowel sounds), will only cost them embarrassment and MONEY, at this point.

He's trying to SPARE THEM dealing with the incessant calls from prison extortionists.

Did Rudy "Slash" himself while he was driving? If so, no wonder he wrecked his truck...

Is anyone really surprised here? Rudy is doing exactly what Rudy wants to do, when he wants to do it. He always has. Hate all this for his kids, his family who is trying to do right and be good. They sure didn't ask to be caught up in all of this or loss of a dad, no matter how we feel about Rudy.

And he endangered all the other drivers on the road when doing this. Can't he just go out into a field in the middle of nowhere and blow his brains out like a respectable person.

Classic toxic narcissist response to his reckoning for years of criminality. He is and always has been a punk.

He could if he had an ounce of respect for anyone else. Look up "narcissist."

Was thinking the same thing. Aren't there easier ways to do that and not tie up traffic and endanger innocent people's lives in the process. Only a narcissist who behave in such a manner.

He will likely be remanded into custody pending sentencing.

No matter how we feel, Rudy is a redeemable human being and I will pray for him and his family. Now he certainly has to pay for his crimes, as he should, but I take no joy in this turn of events.

@5:32 - what political office did or do you hold?

He has 5 kids for the record… not 3.

Narcissists don't attempt suicide - it's tantamount to guilt which they can't feel.

State law requires ppl convicted of a crime to be taken into custody. In federal court, sentencing is set no sooner than 60 days. Commoner or not.

Weak- Real weak

So, did he escape custody or bond out?

He was free on bond til sentencing, which is standard federal procedure.

Guess it’s too late to rollover on those 3 Madison county supervisors. Imagine how much more bribing he did while county engineer!!! CMU was less than a year!

He failed at suicide. Geez

Mighty WEAK Attempt at Suicide as Reported, ran into the Median then got out attempting to cut his wrist or throat. Chicken Sh-- at the least. Lock him up= Make him serve some time-

I'm so sorry for his Children but he's had this coming for 20 Years, do your time -

Mary maybe queen of the city but Karl is King of the county.

Too bad the worthless fucker didn’t succeed. Now we will have to pay for his medical bills, Whitfield confinement , and eventual incarceration. Do it right asshole if you gonna kill yourself.

No human being is worthless and there is hope in even the most hopeless situation so long as we have breath in our lungs. I’m glad the attempt failed and hope to see this man redeemed.

Clearly, some of the people who have been following this case are way past a desire for justice.

Some of y'all have real issues of your own to work on.

He didn’t want to die! He just wants a hospital ward. He could have used a gun.

Collette is 0-12🥴

The peanut gallery doesn't realize the federal statutes of limitations have run out on whatever Rudy did in Canton. No reason they would have been tolled for anyone else to my knowledge.

Chokwe hypothetically could find it's a different situation for him. And any of his hypoththetical co-conspirators.

Especially if the feds think they can charge a different conspiracy and most particularily if anyone involved did any anything to destroy evidence before leaving office. Last overt act of the conspiracy clock resets!

For real, why do these wealthy people keep hiring Collette? He must’ve won some at some point or he promises to visit them in the pen, if the wives run off with another.

poor ole rotten rudy..........................he coulda hopped a plane to brazil.

Rudy Warnock is to civil engineering what Hugh Freeze is to college football. He learned “the game” from the best, then took it way, way, WAY too far. Classic narcissist. Hopefully, there is repentance and redemption. However, in the meantime, he will be the warning & the example that is preached to all young, ambitious engineers. Perhaps, Tom Rice could co-write & produce a made-for-cable mini series with scriptwriting collaboration with Grisham. “The Engineer” Leonardo could dye his hair black, get a perm & portray Rudy. I picture Wesley Snipes as Mike Espy, since Snipes did time in Yazoo Federal Pen for tax evasion. I need to figure out how to incorporate cameo appearances from Austin & Claiborne. Hmmm.

What a great day! Now if the feds would investigate further back and bring his three amigos to justice life would be about perfect!

neither did rotten rudy.

Too bad Elmore Leonard isn't still around to write this.

I know Rudy Warnock and Hugh Freeze both very well. I have the cell phone numbers of both. Rudy is a crook and a con artist. He deserves what punishment he gets. But honestly as bad as Rudy is , I’m not sure he is as crooked and cocky as Freeze. Hugh might be the dirtiest coach college football has ever seen. There are far more NCAA violations than what he was charged with. Of course, Rudy has bribed far more folks than the ones in this trial. Ole Miss is lucky they got off so lightly. Only about 1% of the stuff came to light. But Rudy and Hugh both think they are the victim.

9:04 said it best.

He has won several times in the past, and he has also worked out some good plea deals. The problem is when one has a client that will not take your advice, or a prosecutor that will not offer a reasonable plea deal, they are left with having to try the case. And winning a criminal case as a defendant, especially in federal court, is very difficult. I personally believe that a criminal defendant has to prove their innocence to the jury in spite of what the law says.
