suspect in custody. went in at 6am and robbed 65yo lady behind the counter and cut her throat...was about to stab her again when a guy in back came to the front when he heard the struggle and fought w/robber and was cut as well b/f the robber fled.

Sounds like a .38 revolver carried by an employee or customer would have made things a lot simpler. I don't carry, but I ought to and am going to be looking into it. Idiots like this might think twice about robbing lady cashiers if they think there's a bullet with their name on it behind the counter.

you would think if you were to rob a donut shop you would wait till later in the morning after they had a full till. hope the workers make it thru ok

that's what i was thinking, but maybe they had the take from the weekend due to banks being closed for holiday yesterday???
.....or maybe he thought they would have the most money at the beginning of the day???(bass akwards!)
.....or maybe he was still zingin' from the weekend and didn't have $$ for more, and really wanted more???

With sentence carried out within 2 years. Appeal is fast tracked and you get only one if it is denied. Then it's off to the little white room for your date with the needle

at least they tazed him...

I'm no policeman, but if he cut the lady's throat, shouldn't that be attempted murder?

was told by a local judge that aggrivated assault is much easier to get convicted than attemped murder, so unless they have witnesses and corroberative evidence they charge aggrivated assault instead of attempted murder.

Just info off the rumor mill, so take it for what it's worth, but I heard that he didn't even attempt to steal anything. Just walked in and tried to kill the woman.

I hope the tazed him an extra time or two, sprayed some pepper spray in place that will REALLY burn, shot him in the knee caps, and slammed his pinky fingers in the car door!

I'm told there is no attempted murder law in MS. Is that correct?
