Irby case dismissed.

Madison County Circuit Judge William Emfinger dismissed the indictment against Stuart M. Irby, Sr. on November 2, 2011. Mr. Irby was indicted for cyberstalking Lehman Bounds, III, ex-husband of Karen Irby, after he sent him a picture of his seventeen year old daughter's face photo-shopped on the upper body of a swimsuit model. Earlier post with copy of indictment and the rest of the story.

The District Attorney requested an independent psychiatric evaluation of Mr. Irby in September. The doctor said he suffered from "severe, permanent brain injury as a result of the trauma" and that he "lacks the ability" to "intelligently confer and consult with his attorney with a reasonable degree of rational understanding". The report states he is "incapable of making reasoned decisions".

The order drives the nail into the indictment's coffin:

"At the time of the act constituting the alleged crime charged against him the Defendant did not have the mental capacity to distinguish between right and wrong in relation to such act."

Sources informed this correspondent the frontal lobe of Mr. Irby's brain was damaged. In layman's terms, this means the part of the brain that regulates behavior has been severely damaged and Mr. Irby is incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong even if his cognitive skills are less impaired.

One question not answered is why Investigator Vicki Curry and the Madison Police Department stated in the police report Mr. Irby cyber-stalked Mr. Bounds' daughter when in reality Mr. Bounds was the victim. Mr. Irby never contacted the daughter. It will be interesting to see if further action against Ms. Curry and other officers is taken by Madison PD or Mr. Irby's lawyers.

So, he's officially crazy/brain-damaged and can't form criminal intent or assist his lawyer in preparing a defense?

Should the public be protected from him?

Let's see- If my client gets such a psychiatric opinion, the State always moves to let Whitfield and their experts evaluate them before just dismissing an indictment. Even if originally incompetent, Whitfield tries to school them and make them competent. Plus, according to this report, Irby is legally insane as he is unable to have distinguished right v wrong at the time of the offense. My clients are then housed in Whitfield for life or until returned to sanity. But Mr. Irby, now has a free pass to go commit any crime he chooses because he can't legally be held accountible. Oh boy- what next?

Is this on the cyber stalking thing? Sounds like this gives him an excuse to do pretty much what he wants.

Kingfish said...

First of all, he is no longer in charge of his own affairs. There is a conservator ship inplace. He has someone with him all the time. From what I understand the days of him being solo are over.

It's either William Chapman or John Emfinger.

I wonder who's next in his crosshairs.

I'd still advise against having Stuart over to get sloshed while your wife is in the house. My bet is the plumbing still works just fine.

That's funny in a way because not that long ago before the accident he had the same problem distinguishing right from wrong at the Ware's house.

And why DID that sweet woman Frances marry Billy Ware?

If Irby is insane and no longer in charge of his affairs, how could it be decided that he wanted to file for divorce recently? Someone obviously made this decision to file for his divorce from Karen. Is this legal?

Anonymous said...

Well, if your wife isn't loose then she should be able to be trusted just fine around any man.

Anonymous said...

Well, hmmmmm. Finally, it's official. He's insane and hopefully will be kept away from anyone or anything he could hurt again. A sure hope the young son is still with his Grandmother and his family and doing well. If this story isn't proof money can't buy happiness or health, I don't know what is.

Graham is doing incredible with Gayle. She gives him the stability and security he needed. He is also not at Ja anymore which is the best thing she could have done for him-

But MY biggest concern is what is going to happen to the Eastover/NE jackson swingers club without Stew? With the ringleader out of...touch with reality- Who is going to lead the pack? Going to be alot of new money a-holes without an ass to kiss. What on earth are they going to do?

You might want to read the statute. Ever considered that?

Doesn't JJ have a resident lawyer, Sir Sporkulous, Esquire, aka Curtis Lowly Crowley, to advise, explain, and provide expert legal insight on these stories?
Or is he too busy chasing cutlery-carrying cronies (that's alliteration people!) from downtown cesspools? Oh yeh, guess Don Qrowley is busy with his windmills.
Btw, Kingfish, nice plug on wlbt at 6pm...doin their work for them as usual, eh?

Can someone please laugh at the guy that keeps stalking Crowley @910pm? He keeps repeating spork over and over again like it is going to suddenly become funny. So someone please laugh so he will go away.

Great, Stu gets off again. Karen, my prayers are with you! Serving hard time for an accident Stuart was complicit in. I really do think of you every morning when I wake up at 6 am knowing the MDOC arises you at 4:30 a.m. Bless you.

Why do I feel like I'm looking into the window of a ninth grade classroom with the teacher out of the room and a bunch of boys throwing spitballs, mooning each other and drawing pictures of the principal's wife on the blackboard?

Justice for sale in Madison County. I guess them judges got a good donation for setting ole stewie free.

Speaking of Reunion, I've been seeing alot of pumpkins, did they replace them pineapples or something..

Shadowfax said...

Irby is exceeded in irrelevance only by Kim Kardashwhoeversheis. I can't figure why you people are so infatuated with his non-story. At least do something productive, like fight over his bar stool at the Country Club of Jacktown. This whole thing takes 'who shivs a git' to a new level.

It is what it is and through the clutter of a day at JJ is the best damn, most researched commentary from the biggest and most active commentariat of any blog or website in this state bar none.

You possess all the power if it bothers you to not read.

KF, a conservator will protect Stuart's finances, but do you REALLY believe the babysitters/bodyguards ( I assume there's more than one as humans have to sleep) will be 100% effective ALWAYS?
Stuart's already demonstrated that he can get away from his " keepers", hasn't he?

Why are you so 'infatuated' with controlling the narrative here?

Shadowfax said...

I can only control my own commentary. I have no control, obviously, over the sophomores. @10:45, my remark wasn't addressed to or at the opening revelations. It was addressed 'at' the group of sophomore buzzards who display quite a bit of jealousy at Mr. Irby's apparent success in wealth accumulation, or inheritance. Stoning the injured comes immediately to mind. How does it feel?

Anonymous said...

Shadowfax, why do you assume the wealthy attractive jealousy? Most of the wealthy I know earn admiration and respect.
It is actually possible to be wealthy and be a law abiding, responsible gentleman and a good family man.
Then there are those who have gotten by with scandalous behavior ONLY because they are wealthy .

Anonymous said...

A turd is a turd. Some may be wealthy some not. I guess wealthy ones may be turds longer, or longer turds.

Shadowfax said...

I'll be honest with you. I knew nothing of Mr. Irby or his 'behavior' before reading about it on this blog. I've known the family name for decades but only knew of his father's reputation and credibility since the early days of electrical power companies in Mississippi, chiefly MP&L. Perhaps the silver spoon got lodged sideways in his jaw and something festered.

But still, there's no more evidence he contributed to 'the wreck' than there is that he has brain damage. Both are convenient propositions.

Anonymous said...

Shadowfax, that you and others defending him did not witness him engaging in bad behavior before the wreck is obvious.

Past behavior is about as good an indicatior of future behavior as humans get.

I think if, for example, someone sleeps with their best friend's spouse in that friend's home or moves their mistress into the home of their dying wife (even if the wife is unaware), those are indications that person puts their own desires before anything else. In short, they don't care who they may hurt or embarrass ( even their own children) or what laws they may break ( as long as no serious negative consequences will fall on them) to have what they want. They only think of themselves.

Such people will do " good works" for self-aggrandizement ( or tax relief). They will do favors to obligate people or further business interests. They learn to make others feel good about themselves as a tool of manipulation.

In short, you might be well treated by such people if you are furthering their self interest, but watch out if you get in their way.

If someone treats others badly because they can,you need to watch your back.

Shadow said...

Allow me to correct you in one small way, 8:50. I am NOT defending the man, only commenting on what I saw as a pack of buzzards on the side of the highway eyeing a scrap of fresh roadkill.

He may be the sorriest S.O.B. on God's earth for all I know. But loosely slinging around remarks about sleepovers and causing wrecks is, well, reckless....unless the one making the remark was perhaps present on one or both occasions. And since you mention that I did 'not witness' him performing those acts, may I assume that you DID? In which case, he's not the only one needing psychiatric evaluation.

My, 1:31. Aren't you the Bitter Betty? Why don't you go sit in a jail cell for 18 years and get back with us on how easy you had it?

Anonymous said...

Well, unlike some, i do not get behind the wheel after drinking. If you do, then whatever happens from the moment you put that car into drive is YOUR fault. She took two lives. If it were up to me she would spend life....
Nothing bitter at all. Not like she was 82 and being disraught over her spouse with cancer. She was just a drunk gold digger who killed two innocent people. The only reason she us upset is because she is in jail.
if you are going to be a drunk, fine. Just don't get behind the wheel and risk someone else's life because you are too pathetic to get help.

1:53 COmplaining about the spork fool makes someone a Bitter Betty? What does spork have to do with 18 yrs in jail (coincidentally the term given Karen Irby, who has nothing to do with spork, AFAIK)

Internal Affairs said...

The question now is whether someone will finally spank Vicky curry's butt for lying in that report and perjury. Hasn't she f'd up enough? What does it take to get fired from Madison PD?

Shadowfax said...

A month ago, the Curry lynch mob said string her up because she acted outside her jurisdiction. Now comes another lyncher claiming she perjured herself. Please explain.

And here comes shadowfax once again failing to read the documents kingfish posts and demanding an explanation about them.

Go back and read the post kingfish linked. The perjurious Vicky curry LIED in the police report. Read, shadow, then dispute.

Anonymous said...

Shadow, the sleepover at the best friend's house was documented in court records that were available on line. Apparently, you didn't go to the link. Indeed, Stuart confessed to his friend to help with the divorce.

The wrecks, other than the fatal one, are also documented.

I can see who is living in a house in my neighborhood. I can see people at social gatherings and can see which couples are being physically affectionate and showing romantic interest in one another.

Who is married to whom at any given moment falls under the category of " common knowledge".

I'm just trying to disabuse those who are impressed by the accumulation of wealth and the PR perks that follow that wealth and good character are unrelated.

You are the one who brought up family history.

And, I would suggest you also go into news archives on MP&L and read how Mississippians were promised that once they paid for construction of Grand Gulf, they would get a reduced rate. The excess power would be sold and our rates reduced.Why else would we want to support an increase in our rates when we didn't need the power? That hasn't happened has it? When MP&L became Entergy, that promise to Mississippi rate payers was quickly broken and not part of the " deal". Why do you think that happened, hmmmm?

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.
