"Turd Burglar" Update, Part Two, Court Proceedings And Plea Bargains, Plus The Name "Jermaine Washington" Bobs To The Surface...

A little more than two months after a broad daylight Thanksgiving burglary attempt against the home of a respected senior citizen, click here for more details, court proceedings against the seven alleged miscreants are moving forward at a constipated pace.

Word reached me awhile ago that Darkese Shorter failed to make a pretrial hearing on January 9. (The title of the email with this information was "Stupid Kid.") Jermaine Washington, whose name I didn't have until the last couple days, reportedly pleaded guilty and among other things will have to attend a gun offender program. Based on this information, the victim of the burglary assumes that Jermaine Washington was armed when he was apprehended after the burglary.

Scary...

After Darkese Shorter missed his January 9 hearing, he was arrested some days later by the Juvenile Authorities but returned to his parents.

Diamonte Latrell Morris, who apparently goes by "Latrell Morris," has a juvenile hearing coming up soon which a solid number of Hillside Ave. N. residents will be attending as witnesses. Navarr Ross has a hearing at the same time.

The latest word is that Darkese Shorter, who seemed like such a dumb kid when he missed the January 9 hearing and got re-arrested, is actually the sharpest knife in the drawer. Shorter has reportedly pleaded guilty and will get his record expunged for testifying against the others.

There is, of course, no such thing as "blogosphere records expungement."

I only want the wax if it is NEW and NOT some crap that was dumpster dived. What happened to your dumpster food petition? The required signatures must have fallen just short of you looking like a dumbass for bragging about getting a letter from the white house.

Any word on the King brothers? I heard they ran out of town.

I had not heard they left town. Where did YOU hear that?

What's horrifying is that these armed burglars are going to be released into the neighborhood with a slap on the wrist, as usual. They've probably already victimized dozens of homeowners, and they will victimize hundreds more before they finally either get caught murdering someone and get put away for a couple of years, or else one of their gang banger friends puts them down.

They were at a funeral. Arkansas is a long drive. They are back.

Well, in a few years I'm sure their relatives from Arkansas will be traveling up here for a funeral.
