JaBrandon Green sentenced to 25 years

Greenwood, MS – In Greenwood, JaBrandon Green was sentenced to a total of 25 years with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, District Attorney Dewayne Richardson announced today.

Green had been indicted by a November 2013 Grand Jury for the charges of Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault and Kidnapping. The case stemmed from Green and his co-defendants coming to Leflore Count and attempting to rob the clerk and patrons at Sanders Store. As Green and others fled from the robbery they became involved in a shoot-out with a citizen who was pulling up and attempting to stop the assailants. Luckily no one was injured but Green and others were captured and charged with their crimes.

In Circuit Court this week, JaBrandon Green pled guilty to Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault and Kidnapping. Green was ordered to serve 25 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. After serving 20 years in prison, Green will be on probation for an additional 5 years.

Richardson added that, “the District Attorney’s office feels that justice has been served by the conviction and penalty imposed on this defendant. We hope that the victims of this case can rest a little easier knowing that this assailant is behind bars. All defendants sentenced to the Penitentiary for Armed Robbery are required by law to serve 100% of their sentence without any early release or parole.”

Judicial Process

Citizen's Involvement in the criminal justice system typically begins with them being a victim, witness, or defendant of a crime. Arrests are made generally by a judge-issued warrant or by a police officer observing a crime in process. Law enforcement may also arrest someone if it has probable cause to believe the person committed a criminal offense. When individuals are arrested they are routinely advised of their Miranda Rights upon arrest, advising them that they have the right to remain silent and that anything they say will be used against them in court. On being questioned, defendants have the right to have their attorney present or to have one appointed if they are indigent.

Felony defendants appear at a first appearance and have the charges reviewed. A judge will inquire if the defendant has an attorney. If low income, the defendant may qualify for a court-appointed lawyer. No plea is entered at this time unless the defendant wishes to plead guilty or waives indictment and has an attorney present. All felony cases are presented to a grand jury in the county that the crime was committed. In the State of Mississippi, only a grand jury has the authority to indict an individual for a felony offense and require them to stand trial for the charges alleged in an affidavit and indictment.

If an indictment is issued, the defendant is bound over to stand trial or enter a guilty plea to the crimes alleged. When a criminal trial occurs all 12 jurors must find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Sentences are decided by Circuit Court Judges in all criminal matters. In most cases a recommendation is made regarding imprisonment, probation, fines and restitution.
