Catch & Release! Squawk! Catch & Release!

 It will come as no surprise to learn Cornelius and Jordan Carter (Unrelated) are graduates of the Hinds County Catch & Release program.  The two men are charged with capital murder in the deaths of two sisters and a two-year old child that took place last weekend. 


Jordan Carter



JPD arrested Carter in 2016 and charged him with armed carjacking, kidnapping, and aggravated assault.  Then-Jackson Municipal Court Judge Gerald Mumford denied bond for Carter.  Hinds County Court Judge Melvin Priester, Sr. reduced his bond (as he often did) to $100,000.  

A Hinds County grand jury indicted Carter in 2017: 



Carter pleaded guilty to the kidnapping charge in 2019.  The other charges were remanded.  Hinds County Circuit Judge Faye Peterson sentenced Carter to 20 years in prison but suspended 15 years of the sentence and gave credit for time served in jail.  Squawk!


Cornelius Carter




Carter struck three JPD officers with his vehicle.  A Hinds County grand jury indicted Carter in 2015 for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. 



Carter pleaded guilty in 2021 to aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.  Hinds County Circuit Judge sentenced him to serve 10 years in prison but suspended 5 years of the sentence.  

However, Carter could be a good boy while he was in jail.  The grand jury indicted him for malicious mischief and escape in 2015. Judge Wooten remanded the case in 2021.  Squawk!

Carter got caught with a cellphone in jail in 2017 and was indicted later that year.  Carter pleaded guilty in 2017.  Hinds County Circuit Judge Bill Gowan sentenced him to serve 2 years in prison but gave him credit for time serve and suspended the sentence.  Squawk!

Dear gosh. This is the worst one yet. HOW does WLBT not report this?? This should anger every single person in Hinds County, and America for that matter.

Might as well just say "Don't do it again" and not hand out a bullshit sentence.

But I'm sure it's not their faults, it's being let down by society. I mean, you have to be able to blame someone for your failures.

I am not advocating violence, but it seems these judges are long over due for some personal karma.

It seems like Hinds Conty is the only county in MS where this a way of judicial life- I guess the voters like it.

Of course the voters like it. They do it year after year because they are not able to connect cause and result.

I can't wait to see what Chief Brackney and Mayor Hohrn have to say about this latest development.




If anything.

Someone needs to investigate JPD's claim of an 80% solve rate. I just read about a group of moms in Jackson whose kids were murdered and only a couple of them have seen their child's killer convicted.

Can someone close to the Mayor send a link to this JJ article to him and let us know his response? My goodness.

Cornelius Carter had a previous appearance here as 'Cornelius Carter' for the jail escape recapture:

Move out if hinds county asap and never look back

Agree.

A convict's so called 'successful' completion of bullshit sentences like these for violent crimes is like a cheap participation trophy for the criminal (and the sentencing judge) rather than justice.

Crime is the Democrat tactic used to create the flight required to take over cities like Jackson.
Crime is the Democrat tactic used to maintain the flight required to keep out residents that won’t vote Democrat….in order to keep control of cities like Jackson.

White Democrats go along with this evil crime tactic resulting in the deaths of innocent children like the 2-year-old murdered in the most rent triple homicide….in exchange for votes in state and national elections.

How these white Democrats (like Bill Crawford and Yellow Dog Sid Salter) sleep at night while completely ignoring the tragic deaths of innocent children….because of these pro-crime catch & release Democrat tactics….is a no way to understand mystery.

And the white Democrats that refuse to live in these evil high crime Democrat controlled cities….but instead choose to live in the Republican controlled suburbs….must not have a soul.

@9:57 is on to something

Nothing will change until their culture changes. That’s not going to happen because they don’t think there is anything wrong with their culture. So instead we will get more handwringing and blather about crime prevention rather than law enforcement. Even a fool would understand that “crime prevention” is meaningless without enforcement, though.

"Then-Jackson Municipal Court Judge Gerald Mumford denied bond for Carter. Hinds County Court Judge Melvin Priester, Sr. reduced his bond..."

One would think it impossible to REDUCE a bond that was denied in the first place. How might that happen?

If only Dr. Chief would have a few "cocoa with the popo" events this mahem would stop. Right?

This tragedy probably eliminates the possibility of these two upstanding members of the Jokesan brain trust from curing cancer.

@10:36: Same old identity politics still dragging you down, buddy? Here, let me fix your post: "9:57 in on something".

Well diagnosed and quite accurate.
In summary:
Violence works....unless you are willing to extinguish the behavior through judicial enforcement or exerting more violence back. There is no other way.

9:57 white democrats that refuse to live in democrat controlled cities but instead choose to live in Republican suburbs must not have a soul? Or white democrats that choose to live in democrat controlled cities and refuse to live in Republicans suburbs must not have a soul? Either way this statement doesn’t make a bit of sense!

Jackson, MS / Hinds County where the first murder is free.

"Never let a crisis go to waste." This is engraved over the front door of the DNC HQ.

In an alternate history a few well placed and justified shots by JPD into a certain white Impala being used to try to kill 3 JPD officers years ago could possibly have saved some murders and taxpayer dollars in June of 2026.

Can't hardly imagine this accused murderer wasn't committing felonies all along, whether or not he was ever caught and charged.

12:28PM is fooling no one. White Democrats, as just one example, went along with the literal retard defund & abolish the police BLM scam, to appease their pro-criminal partners running cities like Jackson, while they themselves mostly live safely behind gates and/or in the Republican controlled suburbs.

Everyone with an IQ over 60 knew the BLM defund & abolish the police retard insanity would lead to higher crime rates, and the deaths of innocent children. But White Democrats don’t care, just as long as its poor black 2-year-olds being murdered, and not their privileged white babies living safely in the Republican controlled burbs.

Like Malcom X so correctly said, “that white person that you see calling himself a liberal (Democrat) is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere.”

@12:28PM You must not educate yourself on facts. It's white conservatives who don't care about any black person being shot. Time to pick up a book and watch something other than Fox "News."

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.
