Couple indicted in triple murder case

Note: Audio of hearing posted below. 

The wheels of justice continued to grind up the fates of Jamison Townsend and Joshua Garcia.  A federal grand jury indicted them on June 6 for using a firearm to rob Bill's Coin & Jewelry Exchange and kill three men in December. The two accused killers made an initial appearance in U.S. District Court yesterday.   The couple fled Mississippi after the murders and were caught in Junction, Kansas several days later.  They are currently being held without bond.



Audio of initial appearance

The indictment states that the two defendants killed 81 year-old Cleveland Mosely, 77 year-old Ted McLemore, and 60 year-old Robert Ivy and robbed the store on December 17, 2016.  The indictment charges Garcia and Townsend with use of a firearm to commit violent crimes.  The indictment is posted below.    Townsend is 35 years-old and represented by attorney Kevin Camp. Her arraignment was continued until Friday.  Garcia is 38 years-old.  U.S. Magistrate Keith Ball presided over the initial appearance.

Isn't Kevin Camp one of those advertise-on-the-back-of-the-phonebook DUI lawyers?

Thought it was Tony Soprano for a moment or so........

Donnie Evans is the Attorney who has an ad on the back of the telephone directory. Richie Schwartz has a stick on magnet on the front of the book. Kevin Camp may advertise elsewhere but not on the back of the YP book.

I'm surprised kingfish would post this story considering it is some white murderers. His racist readers are probably so confused to see the local media finally changing the narrative. If you hillbillies cared about facts you would know the demographic committing the most murders is the white male. But then again, that has been the case for at least the last 2,000 years.....

These suspects killed three elderly gentlemen in cold blood. The comments posted on this blog prior to the suspects' identity being revealed were much harsher than the very few that have been posted since (the tone in the community changed once the suspects were shown in the media). Where are the comments about these suspects being animals? Who raised these natural born killers? No comments about their culture? Most human beings are kind and loving towards children and the elderly, so what species are these two? The suspects took three lives and devastated many more as though the right to do so had been granted to them. Homicidal maniacs do not seem to exist within the racial confines we want so desperately to believe. The issue with violent crime may be more about American culture, not ethnicity.

7:52 you may be more intelligent than the first 7:52 but you still aren't very keen. Nobody is talking about culture because of per capita killings in the white vs black community. Think jackson vs Madison murder rates and just chew on that for a while, see if the light build clicks

8:36 if the residents of Jackson thats committing all these crimes and murders had all the means and old bootleg money and other criminally derived money left to them from their crooked fathers, grandfathers and great great grandfathers as MOST of the residents of Madison do, do you think crime would be like it is in Jackson? If all that illegally obtained money thats been cleaned up over the last few hundred years disappeared overnight what do you think the crime rate would be like in so so innocent Madison?

7:52 -

Blacks are 13% of the population of this country, & commit 52% of the homicides.

So...to be sure I understand - If the criminal element that saturates Hinds County had a little bit of 'old money' there would be less crime in Jackson. Did I get that right?

So the root of all evil in Jackson is not only the fact that your daddy and granddaddy didn't leave you any money, but also the fact that you don't know who they are?

race-baiters at 7:52

everyone knew the race of these killers months ago when the murders happened. they knew the race of these killers when they were captured in another state after killing more.

these murders are actually old news from a blogging standpoint.

nice try

Damn, somebody left the indignants barn door open last night over at the Jackson Fake Press.

Tell you what 7:52s, you'd NEVER be allowed to challenge the CEO of that joint in the way you're doing so here. You'd be kicked to the pot-holed street before anyone knew you'd arrived because the Pardners don't clear comments like yours.

We LOVE your holier-than-thou garbage. Please keep it coming.

9:27 instead of my granddaddys criminally derived bootleg money he passed down to me they must have meant to say his work ethic he passed down to me because I didn't inherit a red cent but I would change who I am, or what I have. Life is pretty good for me-though I did work hard many years for it.

One of the men murdered was my uncle on my mom's side. These Bonnie and Clyde wannabes don't deserve to breathe our air!! Those men would help anyone and would give the shirts off their backs. They shouldn't have went out that way!! I hope they execute them or take them out Bonnie and Clyde style since they think they can get away with murders.

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss! I personally knew jamison. I have my theory on all of this. I found out she met Garcia through a friend at work. My theory is this. Nobody knew this guy's wrap sheet. She dated him a few months and realized he was bad news and kept her daughter and everyone away from this monster. I firmly believe he would've killed her if she tried to leave him. She started doing drugs after she realized she was stuck and lost alot of weight fast. Jamison would've never hurt anyone even being on drugs not even hurt this monster. She lost her rn job somewhere in there. I'm sure she helped in stealing because they needed money to live on since neither worked,but never to kill anyone. I'm lucky I'm alive honestly. I hadn't spoken with her for like 4 months and almost went to her house to see if she was ok multiple times because I hadn't heard from her when I thought I would've by then. I knew she was still kinda seeing an ex before Garcia that was just using her for her money. I couldn't get her to see this fully or so I thought. Come to find out she did and let that guy go but met Garcia a few months later. I heard from her family that garcia was very jealous of anyone even Jamison's family being around her. I heard one friend of her's went to her house to check up on her and garcia threatened her not to not answer the door and pulled a gun out. Make a long story short Garcia shouldn't be breathing right now and should've been locked up for life before the murders ever happened. He wasn't going to change his ways. The justice system let us all down and we lost 3 good people because of it. I lost a friend and she can't be a mother to her daughter that meant everything to her. Super sad story all around!!!

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.
