Thomas McClinton: Brown got on his knees and begged

Here is the second part of the transcripts from the hearings held in 2011 and 2012 in the Mike Brown case. I posted the first part of the transcript Friday. The second part is from the February 1, 2012 hearing and is the testimony of Thomas McClinton, father of De Mon McClinton. Its rather entertaining to read, especially starting at page 42.

Funny part of the records. Attorney Mike Brown tries to badger Mr. McClinton into admitting he approved all promissory notes from De Mon McClinton's guardianship to Linus Shackelford. Thomas McClinton responds by claiming he signed the promissory notes after Brown got on his knees and begged him to accept promissory notes instead of throwing him in jail. Another amusing picture is Mr. McClinton repeatedly says he had to go to Brown for money. Brown carried around a big checkbook, like he was a big dog or something, and Brown would write checks out of it to McClinton. The picture that emerges while reading these transcripts is Mike Brown is a boxer on the ropes, trying everything he can to get off of them but he keeps getting pummeled until he finally does not know what to do. Don't worry, there is going to be more material posted from these hearings.

However, Before you read, remember these facts. Thomas McClinton filed a petition to reopen the guardianship of De Mon McClinton (It was closed in 2005) on September 4, 2009. Attorney Brent Hazard filed a petition for an accounting on the Guardianship of De Mon McClinton on December 2, 2010. Judge Thomas issued an order reopening the guardianship on September 30, 2009. That is important when you read through the transcript as Brown claims he did not know the guardianship was reopened. Enjoy.

Note: Here is a nice post on the subject of attorneys and guardianships penned by Chancellor Larry Primeaux on his website. Its a good primer for the non-lawyers on why Mr. Brown was thrown in jail.

He wishes he never listened to Shackelford's smoke. Mike truly believed the Lakeland Place was a diamond pit. This is all about 2 con men conning each other.

Shame to these men for paying a bail bond instead of paying the one they stole from.

Anonymous said...

These are classic stooges! Hahahaha! The dummies appealed a civil contempt case. That only motivated the DA's to push for criminal felony charges. They are stupid as ever!

I believe they will stay in jail til death due to the amount and their age.

Renee said...

I don't believe you are being fair about your reporting with Mr. Linus Shackelford. He is a kind and gentile man. He is very honest and faithful. He never would have taken the money had he known the economy would go bad. The judge was unfair in not giving him a pay back plan. This is all just sad for everyone. Everyone is praying for the judge to be overturned on appeal.

Anonymous said...

Renee, kudos. We are all praying for him, praying for him to go to jail.

Does anyone know who took the most money? Shack stole 550. What did Brown actually take?

Shackelford and Brown should take note from Bernie Ebbers. Before court you should have completely liquidated all assets and stepped before the court pleading that you are giving all. NEVER walk in and do what you did.

Anonymous said...

Renee,
You obviously don't know either of these men well nor have you done your research. They both have a history of dishonest dealings. You do not understand the economy of a cemetery as well in regards to profits, money held in reserve to satisfy the Sec. of State, etc. Even in a good economy LS would not make enough money to pay back the note with interest in his lifetime. The most important fact you seem to forget-it was an illegal loan for the lender and the borrower.

Anonymous said...

King, great research! It is looking like the 2nd $200k loan to LShac might be a theft and not a loan! 40 years without parole is on the horizon!!!!

Mike Brown is a clown! How in the world does he look at himself in the mirror? I'd be dying of embarrassment if I were him. Holy moly!

Festus said...

Brown will go to trial believing that he can convince 1 juror to his side. Not taking the 15 offered, he will get 40.
Shackelford on the other hand will plea had do 5. He could be out in 3 with good behavior.

This is grand theft at its finest. These are evil men.

I hope he gets Life If he don't other lawyers will do the same Just look at the disbarred lawyers over the same thing!!!!!!!!!!

So, if the illegal promissory note is for $300,000 then that means the other $250,000+ that Linus Shackelford got was blatantly stolen. Looks like Brown and Shackelford weren't as slick as they thought they were!

renee, how do you know linus is a gentile?

Anonymous said...

Explain to me how a man with no job and assets frozen can buy a house in Alabama? Yes the Browns are Alabama bound....not to mention the $$$$ that has been placed in "trust" under his daughters names. Does the courts not check into these types of tranactions???

Renee said...

We dated, he is a true gentleman. He has been framed by Brown.

Anonymous said...

Why would the courts not ck on the trust or anything else

Anonymous said...

It was just on tv the judge ordered brown to pay up how is he going to do that with on money and trust in his daughters name

Anonymous said...

@ 7:41 How do you know Mike Brown has bought a house in Alabama? And which daughter is this "trust" in?

Unbelievable loss for Demond! Theses crooks need life!

"We dated, he is a true gentleman."

Bless your heart, we certainly do value your completely objective opinion then

U need to ck out mike brown first wife maybe something there

Anonymous said...

A condition of his bail was that he can't leave the state. If he bought a house in Alabama, could he have done that without running the risk of it being revoked?

Anonymous said...

Yes because he thinks he can by with anything he will tell the judge oh I misunderstood

Anonymous said...

He'll tell the judge they talked about it in chambers!

KF, when are you gonna post the rest of the transcripts?? Keep them coming! It just gets better and better!

Anonymous said...

His familt did buy a house in AL and plan to move as soon as the school year is up. The house is accross the street from Mrs Browns family
Apparently Mike believes that he is above the law. This man is truly mentally ill

Anonymous said...

We're in al how did u dothat with assets frozen it must not be in his name I thought he could not leave mississippi

Ken said...

Had they paid Demon $10k and $25 k instead of bonding for their personal benefit the J wold have ROR'd them. Shack n Brown need to sell that cemetery and at least pay him $50,000.

Anonymous said...

What is. Ext for mike and Linus they can't stay out on bond for ever

CS said...

2 good men going to jail for a default loan! Debtors prison!

Anonymous said...

I would beg to differ with the 2 good men comment. Don't believe you would be calling them good men if they sc***** your family out of money.

Remember...just because this is the only case that we are talking about DOES NOT mean they have not stolen from other people. Where there is smoke there is fire. They are not debtors...they are theives!!

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.
