Haley Barbour commuted her sentence to three years of house arrest when he granted her and others clemency before he left office in January Her house arrest ended in On appeal, Collins originally argued that despite allegations of intentional acts, the complaint was based in negligence, for which a two-year statute of limitations applied, and the negligence action was not barred.
The Court of Appeals initially denied Collins' appeal, but decided to reconsider, leading to Wednesday's ruling. The Court of Appeals, in a split decision, allowed the lawsuit to go forward on Collins' claim of sufficient intentional acts, but threw out her negligent claim,.
The court opinion, written by Judge Donna Barnes, said the lawsuit wasn't barred by a one-year statute of limitation because it was filed on behalf of a minor child. Madakasira treated Irby prior to the crash for various conditions, including bipolar disorder, anger management, and alcohol abuse, according to court papers.
If Mac was trying to throw the case for one of his best campaign donors and long-time friends, there are few other steps JPD could have taken in the investigation that would have betrayed the prosecution's case when it went to court. In the end, however, it was Karen Irby who stood before a packed courtroom, Judge Green and God as she admitted to ending the two lives of two wondeful people while her husband and McMillin were nowhere to be found. While Mrs. Irby answered for her actions yesterday, one can only wonder if others will answer for their actions as well.
Karen Irby sobbed as she apologized to the families of two young doctors killed in a fiery crash with the vehicle she drove after drinking and speeding down a Jackson city street. No one knew what to expect today in Judge Green's courtroom today as Karen Irby appeared for sentencing after she pled guilty to killing Lisa Dedousis and Daniel Mark Pogue on February 11, The courtroom was packed with family members and media while an overflow crowd waited outside the closed doors.
A fragile Karen Irby clad in black sat in silence while Stuart Irby was conspicuously absent. Shades of Robbie Bell avoiding her son's sentencing came to my mind several times today.
Judge Green stated she received over letters I later learned only two were negative. Judge Green was professional, at times gracious, and spoke softly throughout the hearing. John Booth Farese, the attorney for the families of the deceased, said the families had statements to make to the court. John Dedousis, brother of Lisa, showed his true worth as a man as he stepped up to the podium and delivered a statement few will ever forget as it was damning towards Stuart Irby and JPD yet compassionate towards Karen.
Dedousis first told the Court his parents were unable to attend because the ordeal had causes his father to have some recent heart problems. Lisa Dedousis "dedicated her life to serving others". He then recollected how Karen Irby met with the families the week before she pled guilty. She admitted her guilt to them, offered everything she had, and apologized for killing their loved ones.
Gasps were heard as John Dedousis thundered forth with his next statement: "Stuart Irby is a violent person" and that "Karen Irby had been living in fear. JJ reported on this matter earlier this year and published police reports obtained through public records requests. DHS did meet with the Irbys on February Sources have informed JJ Mr. Irby was very flippant to the interviewer and wasn't bothered at all by a child abuse investigation.
Sources have also stated that the investigation did not progress any further. Dedousis continued with more statements: "the investigation was not thorough or complete", "a fight ensued and Stuart assaulted Karen, grabbed her hair", "Stuart had two glasses of whiskey, then three more double shots of whiskey and some wine. Paul Steve Pogue, the brother of Daniel Mark, was more subdued and simply said "as a Christian family, we believe in forgiveness", "Karen was a victim of Stuart's continued abuse", and "asked for the minimum sentence.
Karen Irby addressed Judge Green as she made a final plea for mercy. Somehow, someway, she was able to tell the Court through her tears and the terror that was evident in her voice she "prayed for mercy", "the grief was indescribable", and that she begged for her children. The courtroom was deathly silent for over a minute as crying was heard from several in attendance. As I wrote a few weeks ago "While justice was served, there was no victory here, no reason to celebrate, just a numbing sense of tragedy about something that should never have happened.
Two doctors who should be enjoying their marriage vows and helping others, a mother at home with two kids, a family legacy once well respected in Jackson, all destroyed. This was a Mac that didn't like to be questioned about anything regarding this case. A Mac that attacked this blogger in the Jackson Free Press for his coverage of the Irby case yet refused any questions from all media in town.
A Mac that confronted the DA a few weeks ago over the Irby trial. A Mac so angry that day he screamed at the DA and threw books across the room as told by numerous sources who were present. Judge Green then addressed Mrs. Judge Green took her duties very seriously as she reminded Mrs. Irby that for all of the letters received on her behalf, there were two doctors who were not able to write letters. Judge Green read a letter she had composed on their behalf.
A letter she wrote thirty minutes before the hearing today. Some thought such actions by the Judge were nonsense but what this correspondent saw was a judge having empathy for the victims and reminding everyone that for all of the talk about Stuart and Karen, the fact remained two doctors were dead thanks to the actions of both Irbys Oh, how the end of the Great Gatsby came to mind.
