Two Greenville men plead Guilty to Robbing the B Quick on Reed Road

Greenville, MS – In Greenville, Floyd Taylor, 20 yoa, and Kordarrus Clifton, 18 yoa, pled guilty for their roles in robbing the B Quick Store on Reed Road and he have been sentenced to serve time in the Mississippi Department of Corrections, District Attorney Dewayne Richardson announced today.

Both men were scheduled for court this week where they entered pleas of guilty for Armed Robbery. This case stemmed from the July 13, 2016 armed robbery of the store clerk at the B Quick located at 1381 East Reed Road. Floyd Taylor admitted to being the lone gunman in this crime and he was sentenced to a total of 14 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. He will serve the first 9 years of his sentence in prison without the opportunity for early release or parole. Kordarrus Clifton pled guilty this week to the charge of Armed Robbery as well and he was sentenced to 12 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Clifton will serve the first 7 years in prison and then be on probation for 5 years.

Richardson added that, “the District Attorney’s office feels that justice has been served by the conviction and penalty imposed on these defendants. 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.
