JENKINS WAS IN STRUGGLE WITH EARP OVER THE GUN WHEN IT DISCHARGED
RICHLAND CO.—According to the defense, there was no cold-blooded First Degree Murder of Michael Scott Earp on November 20, 2011.
Opening statements revealed what’s been kept from the public for many months…and what has apparently been obfuscation on the part of sources claiming to have been at the scene, and who claimed so many different stories that at this point, it’s like wading hip-deep in alligators.
What we’ve believed we’ve known all along about the night Scott Earp was shot is now in question. The official version is that somehow, Earp was shot by Jenkins in the abdomen and died at the hospital in Olney. The unofficial version we’ve been given by people claiming to have been present had it that the Earp group was climbing into Jenkins’ work truck coming after him and he shot in self-defense. That premise was supported because of one of the charges against Jenkins stating that he fired in an occupied vehicle, this being a grand jury indictment.
However, when Belleville criminal defense attorney John O’Gara gave opening statements today, he filled in the blanks that the state has withheld, and apparently, they’ve withheld it with good reason: the gunshot wasn’t the result of self-defense, but was actually the result of a struggle Jenkins had with Scott Earp, during which Earp was attempting to disarm the Marine, and Earp himself possibly attempting to shoot Jenkins during the struggle, when the weapon, a Springfield .45, discharged, shooting Earp through the BACK of his abdomen, the wound exiting out his BACK on the other side of his abdomen. In other words, in his attack on Jenkins, Scott Earp assured his own fate, as there was no reason for Earp to attack Jenkins at all, as Jenkins had only fired a warning shot in order to get Earp away from Jenkins’ truck, on which Earp had already broken a mirror because he was drunk and rowdy, typical Earp behavior on a Saturday night.
The Earp Boyzz
We suspect there will be more fill-in of the blanks as witness testimony proceeds, but so far what we’ve learned has been a stunner, and has prompted us more than we already were to question why David Hyde charged Brandon Jenkins at all. Flavius Doug Earp trashed the motel where Jenkins was staying; the cops literally had to “rescue” Jenkins from his room at the motel, pulling up to the west door and scurrying him out because they couldn’t get Flav Earp under control; and then they had to tell Jenkins to lie down in the cruiser “so Doug Earp wouldn’t see him leaving, in case he’d attack the police car.” (Flavius Doug Earp uses his first two names interchangeably; it may or may not be confusing for the jurors; point is, he acted like an animal that night, as did many on the parking lot, and that behavior is what’s going to sink the state’s case if it indeed gets sunk.)
And right now it looks like it’s got a boulder tied firmly around its neck.
There was a bit of a problem this morning, with something going on in the courtroom, filled with prospective jurors, and media not allowed. We are endeavoring to learn what that was about, but the rude deputies on hand providing court security—and they are THICK—wouldn’t provide info. This is something worth involving our media attorney over….because if there were essentially “secret proceedings” going on that media wasn’t involved in (the only thing they can keep the media out of a courtroom over is a grand jury), that can constitute a mistrial….and with as much money as Richland is spending over this needless case, they might want to think about doing it all over AGAIN because SOMEONE wanted to be stubborn, Jerry Doan.
The Earp clan present—the few of them that are, comprised of Victoria deWeese (a Scott Earp babymomma), Breanna Trout (Scott Earp half sister), Angel Neff (Flav Earp babymomma), Robin Earp/Trout/Summers/whatever (Scott’s mother) and some bald guy—have been quite low-key. Other than the fact that Robin is a little overdressed for court and that a couple of them are going for the audible sniffling at crucial junctures in testimony, they’re not standing out, apparently in hopes that they can manage to not get themselves kicked out of the courtroom: they’ve kept remarks to themselves, except for a couple of notable hissing sounds during Jason Collins’ (owner of Friday Night Lights bar in Olney) testimony, and when O’Gara at one point said “Brandon just wanted to go home.” One of the clan muttered ”So did Scott.” However, this was just after testimony about how Scott Earp had been drinking and carousing with an obviously-drunk crew and had taken off from the bar with yet another woman other than one of his babymommas (Liza Miller, according to testimony), rendering the comment just short of comical in its context, as it was obvious that at 2 a.m., “going home” was the last thing on Scott Earp’s mind.
More when we break this afternoon….keep checking back.

So the gutless OPD could not get one 5’8″ little piece of shit under control? Why did they not arrest the little asshole for destruction of property and disorderly conduct regardless of the condition of his brother?
So you mean to tell me that Dunn allowed someone in the gallery to “hiss” while a witness was given testimony and he also allowed muttered rebuttals? Doesn’t sound to me like he has control of his courtroom at all.
Hammer their ass on the issue of banning the media. File the papers today. Be sure to name that fatass Doan in the case.
agreed that lil shit shoulda been charged too but look whos behind it No Balls Hyde trust me hes got loads of skeltons hanging in his closet. wont say what on here tho
Jack, a couple of questions for you and Ang
(1) If Rerun Arteberry refused medical attention, then how did Hyde know his bleeding came from the alleged discharge …. how does the State know it didn’t come from a broken Lite Beer bottle and how can the charge be made if they did not forensically evaluate the obstruction ?
(2) Is there a snowballs chance that the Attorney General has someone reviewing this cluster of ass clowns that is the Richland County Sheriff Dept., States Attorney’s Office, Judicial Branch that have empowered the GED Gang to play enforcer for the past several years? Do we have any hope the truth will come out and have a larger ending than Raymondo?
(3) Why does it always seem every picture of the late Earp he is wearing a towel as a halter top?
Hey T L…nice to see you back. All testimony today was that everyone who saw “Rerun’s” “grazing wound” believed it was nothing more than a scratch…they said it looked like a “rug burn.” It may have been self-inflicted. These Urp idiots get together and fabricate a story—very quickly, in most cases; they’re pathological liars—and I think this was part of it. There was NO WAY Rerun could have been grazed by a bullet. The first went into the ground, the second went through Scott Urp’s back and into the ground. Even if Rerun’s fatass stomach was in the way…HE HAD NOTHING ON HIS T-SHIRT. There was no bullet hole, as there was in Urp’s clothing. So no…I don’t for a second believe it was a grazing wound. There WAS one point in one of the vids that Arteberry was trying to keep Flavo from doing more damage to the building, and FLAV could have “grazed” Rerun with something…Flav was throwing rocks at the building, and he might’ve had a landscaping rock in his hands when he pushed Arteberry away. I’d put money on it that that’s how that “wound” happened….but there’s no way it could’ve been from a bullet, and of course, since there was nothing resembling an investigation that went on afterwards, there was no investigation into that wound.
Good Lord, so 1 of the 4 charges has ZERO merit (just like all the other charges).
Flavius was throwing rocks, I stand by a comment I made a few months ago, Flavius Douglas Earp is his generations Ernest T. Bass, only not as good looking and less intelligent than the original. The public along with the Super 8 Corporation should be demanding his arrest, the Statute of Limitations is still in effect. The problem that I see with this brain trust is O’Gara will get to cross examine them and compare it to their depositions, AHH What the Hell, how about some Perjury while we are at it. I wonder of the OPD along with Hires and Brain Trust Inc. are interviewing for new drug Narc’s because everyone now knows who their Narc’s are.
Is there a chance that Hyde can be reprimanded, censored, or the safest thing Dis-Bared due to well documented incompetence? I have seen and heard more competency in law matters from a D- Business Law student than David Hyde. Talk about worth being named in a lawsuit for putting the public at risk, the evidence is sky high against Hyde. I believe we have finally found a Government Job that would even garner your vote Jack, the Democrats should run B J O’Neil against Hyde for States Attorney. I gotta believe most Republicans, especially after the forthcoming Civil Lawsuit, will either vote for BJO or simply not vote for a States Attorney period.
I just hope Rands didn’t slide a Narc Plant on the Jury. Great work by both you and Ang, keep it up and I am looking forward to tonight’s PODCAST for the specifics.
“Rerun” lol. He appears to be enamored with himself and the idiotic face he seems to affect in most every picture which,by the way, makes him look like that Corky kid that was on TV back in the 90′s. Only without the red hair.Fact of the matter is that roids work for some people, adding definition and mass. For some it just adds mass similar to gelatin and no amount of tribal tattoos and other bullshit can hide it. I bet he is shitting his pants over perjury charges being that are sure to be filed against him. Bullet wound my ass. That little chin beard will be a nice, warm cozy for a certain piece of his new owner’s when he arrives at DOC.
Great job with the nightly Podcast and the 2 minute snip-its, that is categorized under Journalism taking advantage of technology.
SOOO, Has Sheriff Hires announced the arrest of Flavius D. Earp on charges of (1) Resisting Arrest (2) Damage to property (3) Endangerment of public safety by tampering with fire equipment (4) Intent to commit murder as was reported and is part of the court transcript as reported, under oath, by his employee? Also what is your guess, will Judge Dunn have Rerun Arteberry arrested in the witness chair for filing a false felony charge when he proclaimed to be shot or has Judge Dunn already authorized the bench warrant on this charge?
Welllll….there was no investigation into Rerun’s “gunshot wound”….no medical report, no taking in his clothing for evidence, no testing of ballistics (or even the weapon) to determine if that indeed WAS the weapon that inflicted the shot into Earp OR the “grazing wound” on Rerun…hell, for all we know, one of the other simians bouncing around on the parking lot that night could have been carrying a weapon (although it’s a good bet most of them were carrying illegally if at all, because of their felonious records) and THAT gun could have been the one that shot BOTH of them.
Can you all say “R E A S O N A B L E D O U B T”….?
Yeah….I knew you could.
(Quote)There was NO WAY Rerun could have been grazed by a bullet. The first went into the ground, the second went through Scott Urp’s back and into the ground. Even if Rerun’s fatass stomach was in the way…HE HAD NOTHING ON HIS T-SHIRT. There was no bullet hole, as there was in Urp’s clothing. So no…I don’t for a second believe it was a grazing wound.(Unquote).
Math is not many people’s strong subject, but this could be SESAME STREET simple learning to count jingle:
“One – Two – THREE
PER-JUH-REE!”
Sometimes people joke, “Oh, so who is counting?”
Fortunately some who have critical thinking skills and logic ARE. Hope O’Gara hammers this one so even a juror with the saddest math deficits gets it.
So, can we (John Q. Public) hear the 911 calls, read the Grand Jury transcriptions, have access to any court transcriptions? Do we have to wait for IL legislation? Thank God for Sunshine Laws.
Gotta chuckle about Big Fish swimming in a small pond . . . must find better water supply (LOL)!
Love the Podcasts! Love the Richland County Jury pool . . . will things change?
You guys ROCK!
