Douglas county is full of it

Tell us the real story. What really happened and why would a jury of our peers ignore facts that would have led them to believe in his innocence?

I truly sorry that you are going through this, madwife. However, IF your husband truly committed this crime, how can anyone in good conscience (DA, Judge, Jury, etc.) NOT try and convict him?

Manny
I truly agree with Lisa you really shouldn't believe everything you read...... This was truly an unfortunate accident nothing more nothing less...... The situation was handle wrong but when your'e scared and young you tend to make mistakes.. When the case is appeal and all the facts are laid out on the table then and only then you will know the real truth...... If you know Jerrell then you already know it's not his character....... Engough said!!

Good luck!

"It is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent one to death." -- Maimonides

if you would have gad a case why come out now and say it why did you not tell it in court...another guilty person no one wants to believe that there person could do it .. i know iv been down this same road. he did it!!!!!

Must have tripped over the cat.

The audacity of those defending this young man is unbelievable. The signs and symptoms of shaken baby syndrome are undeniable. If not the accused, then who dun it? Perhaps it was the only other resident in the home at the time, THE CAT! Damn cat, shaking babies and then tripping up the daddies! The entire premise that this young man is guilty only because he wasn't given quality legal representation is hilarious, but probably accurate. After all, O.J. and Casey Anthony were both innocent, right? Give me a break.

All finger pointing aside, I think the most important thing for everyone to focus on is the health of the Child. God bless that little guy.

My son in law did the same thing to my grandson. He is setting in prison right now and he said the same thing. he blamed it on my daughter and she was at the shoe store buying shoes. They had her on tape at the time then he said my granddaughter did it she dropped him a couple days before. He told so many lies he did not know what he told. i feel bad for the family but get a grip on it cause you will find out he did it just scared to tell the truth. he has two story's already. i pray the child will be alright and for the person that hurt the child rot in hell.

Dont believe everything you read?? huh I would HATE to hear the real truth then. How he held the baby in his heads because he couldnt man up and be a father, instead he acted as a coward and had to shake his son into a coma! Dont believe everything you read?? How exactly did it happen then for all these people who know the facts? You can't mistake Shaking Baby Syndrome. That child did not ask to be born to a MONSTER, he did not ask to go blind, he sure as hell couldnt do anything to defend himself! Alos, please note that a child under the age of 6 months only cries when something is wrong. Fair trial?? WOW, how fair could it get? 20 years for almost killing an innocent baby? Ya your right it wasnt fair he should have got life. Also, please learn how to spell R and U are not actual words they are letters. Ignorant.

i guess that all the jury hates blacks to wow how fast you turn you color of your skin to help this out. i am white and my son in law is white i guess the judge that gave him prison hates whites. Im sick of hearing blacks are done wrong get a life no mater your skin color

WHAT A MONSTER! I hope he burns. Everyone n da hood coming to his defense should go jump off a bridge. He'd be guilty if he wouldn't your "cuz".

Michael Jackson didn't touch dem kids! And my homeboy O.J. wouldn't hurt a fly.

You know just when you think you know someone, they change... Anyone who has to shake a baby is a yellow bellied coward!

I know Judge Emerson personally. He's not racist at all. When are people going to quit saying "oh they did it cause I'm black" that shit pisses me the hell off. They didn't do it cause of the color of your skin, they did it because you are guilty! Man up and claim your faults.

Lol jack it and real time!

We's got a man in da white house so we can claim racism on any thang. Help my skin is a different color and i think i'm crippled.

I wonder if there is government service to bring my weed and malt liquor to my house without me getting off the couch?

You people are ridiculous, but i hear there's plenty of real estate in africa and no white, hispanic, or asian to hold you back.

Ever since Obama became president more and more people have tried pulling the race card. Believe me, I'm not racist by any means, but I cannot stand ignorance. The judgment isn't made based on skin color, it's based on innocence and being guilty. If Archie wasn't guilty, why did he plea so? Because he knows what he did.

If I wasn't guilty, I wouldn't accept a plea deal. Or plead guilty. Just saying.

I would like to remi d everyone on here that are taking up for jerrell that he isnt the victim...my son Julius Isom is. Its crazy how madwife wants to jump into a situation she knows nothing about...just going off of he say she say. And lisa you are the same person right along with your daughter claiming he needed to be locked up and that yall wanted t be there the day he got sentenced. Madwife I dont know you but women to women and as young females with children...be careful who you befriend. I definitely learned the hard way just from being arund these certain ppl. Yes jerrel is/was a good person...but his upbringing plays a major part in who he is. Sad what has happened to him and my son...but if ou are that naieve to be gullible to believe everything that is told to yu...then I dont know what else there is to say. My son being injured is the end result of carelessness...but its a blessing that he is even still here today. While yall so called wanna fivht for jerrell im still gonna continue fighting for my son

Thank you Real Time. . .

Thank you also Corie

H.P.M I think I already know who you are bybthe initials but anyways...it would be a different situation if someone else was in our apt with him then I could be like well maybe it was the other person because I couldnt believe jerrell would do it...BUT...he was the only one left with my son and julius damn sure didnt shake his self..damn sure didnt put his self in a coma..damn sure didnt bust his own lip..damn sure didnt fracture his own rib..and put brush burns on his own face. But I'll be that bitch that ppl want to claim for me to be and try to say also that me dropping my son at daycare, which he wasnt even that far from the floor already and which happened months before what jerrell did is the so called "other unreleased information" that wasnt told to the judge. Only god, julius, and jerrell know what happened that day. And like someone said, why plea guilty and not take it to trial to prove his innocence? Because he knew what he did...there is no justifying this situation.so me as a mother...yes, i am going to look out for the best interest in my SONS health and being.

Madwife is such a funny character...im not stressing you nor anybody else. I can admit to amything you want me to sweetie, but at the same time your going off of what other characters wanna relate to you. Your right, I didnt want another child at the time because if my circumstances at the time but I chose to keep my child...but at the same time jerrell, even his own momma agreed that jerrell didnt need another child for the fact he barely delt with his first child. So while yall taking all yall time and effort trying to get him out...GOODLUCK LMAO

Wow...I dont understand how you could defend this dude and say he innocent. He didn't even show any kind of remorse for what he did or anything but the excuse is that he was scared. Bitch man up...you laid down and made it and now you had " key word had" a responsibility to take care of but instead of stepping up you decided to shake a 5 MONTH OLD!!!!!! You give brothers a bad name for real and I might go to jail one day but it won't be for no bullshit like this. Lisa you talking about doing the research well I have done it being a parent and here is the numbers and I quote " While the symptoms of shaken baby syndrome can be caused by other defects or illnesses, the doctors employ "injury constellation" that doctors use to diagnose SBS, which includes damage to the brain, bleeding under the membranes that cover the brain, and bleeding in the layers of the retina. All this was found by the doctor that saved this child's life moreover 87% of children diagnosed with this form of abuse using the above techniques where to found to have been shaken so you can stop trying to sound smart because you sound stupid in other word Lisa " YOU DISQUALIFIED" so sit down. The race card is not even a issue here, being a dead beat father is. If he do win a appeal then it will be one more time the justice system has failed us but it seems like you done went dug Johnnie Cochran up for this one. I guess it was the grumpy cat from facebook. Janay stay strong and keep god first.

Dumb question here...

Can you appeal a guilty plea??? I thought appeals were for people convicted.

I appreciate it Fa Real

As a general rule, every criminal defendant has the right to appeal his conviction, even if the conviction came after a guilty plea. However, when it comes to guilty pleas, it's not easy to "win" on appeal. That's because you admitted to committing the crime, and if the judge and the prosecution did everything properly when you entered your plea, you were told about the consequences of your plea and you agreed to and accepted those consequences. In other words, you pled guilty, knew what you were doing when you entered the plea, and so now you've got nothing to complain about.

In most cases when there's an appeal after a guilty plea, the appellant claims that the conviction is no good because the plea wasn't made knowingly, intelligently, and/or voluntarily. That is, you didn't understand what you were doing when you pled guilty, or the judge didn't tell you everything she was supposed to. This isn't always easy to do, but you may be successful on your appeal if you can show that, for example:

(Cont.)

When you appeared before the judge to enter your plea, the judge didn't’t tell you all or some of the important rights that you were "waiving" or giving up with your plea, such as your rights to a jury trial, to confront the witnesses against you, and to have every element of the crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt. There's a federal rule that sets out what you have to be told, and most states have a similar rule

Someone threatened you or your family with physical violence if you refused to plead guilty, and so your plea was "coerced" and not voluntary

The prosecution promised you something that it knew you weren't going to get, like probation as a sentence for a very serious crime, or made other "improper inducements" to get you to agree to the plea

The prosecution broke or "breached" the plea bargain; it didn't keep its part of the deal. For example, if the prosecution agreed to drop certain charges in exchange for your agreement to testify against a co-defendant, and you do so, but the prosecution charges you anyway

IF he wasn't guilty, he REALLY, REALLY, REALLY shouldn't have plead that way.

Villa Rica DAWG good question and here is the answer, Be careful when you plea guilty or no contest to a criminal charge. When you do, you will have to waive your right to appeal the conviction, as long as your sentence is legal. Their reasoning is that they had bad defense representation but that does not automatically get you a appeal. In order for this to work, they have to prove that the defense laywer did not meet the judicial standard for representation however you can't just say oh since I got found guilty he didn't represent me good enough. You took a plea dumbass, legally your appeal has no grounds to be entertained. You have to start the appeal immediately after the court and one more thing only the Court of Appeals of Supreme Court can grant this so good luck to them......not really.

Said it better than me Villa Rica Dawg. Good job!

In court yesterday the judge told him if he pled guilty he was waiving all his rights to a fair trial and proving his innocence and that he admits to the charges against him and that he wasnt forced by anyone to plea guilty, that he did it on his own...he acknowledge that he understood what he was being told and still pled guilty..so there will be no winning an appeal...

But im done explaining all of the obvious and whats the truth. I have better things to do with my time then entertain ppl on this page...my son is way more important than this and needs my focus and attention way more than this. He is locked up and there is nothing else to it ans no more that can be done about it...so my stress is mot on him anymore its onlyb on me and my family. So to those who wanna "try" and justify jerrell...more power to yall. Good bye...

if you so called so worriedf about ur son y r u going back n forth on here as well as facebook n whatever else u writing on the WEB

BIPOLOR................................................N THE AQPPLE DONT FALL TO FAR FROM THE TREE

Janay....I don't think you need to defend yourself or your child. Even if what this lady is saying is true (that you're bipolar, didn't want a baby, dropped your baby). No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. And being bipolar, mad wife, is a chemical imbalance not a choice!!!!!! The difference is that she stepped up to the plate and took care of her child. I went to school with Archie and was actually friends with his older brother. It is unfortunate, but forensic evidence and physics do not lie! You can not argue with science. A doctor can recognize injuries and their causes. If the baby had a cracked rib and Archie said its because the baby was choking and he did CPR, I would believe it. However, a baby does not go blind from you tripping over a cat! Both families have suffered a loss, but the innocent baby did not deserve it. I pray for the whole family and baby boy!

since its been about two years. How is the baby doing?

If you're not guilty why plead guilty? Truth is, "Dad" committed a horrible act and is the exact type of person who shouldn't be a parent. Maybe its just me, but I think i would break my arm in the fall protecting my child before i would let their head hit the floor. This guy is a piece of crap, Best of luck Jana in your child's recovery. Mad wife, get over it. No one will see this man as innocent or the "victim" He's a bad person.

IF NO ONE IS PERFECT N PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES Y IS HE SERVING 20 YEARS OF HIS LIFE FOR A MISTAKE N SHES OUT LIVING HERS WHEN SHE MADE A MISTAKE AS WELL????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? SHE HAD A PERFECT LIFE A MAN THAT LOVED HER N WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER BUT IM NOT ABOUT TO GO INTO DETAILS ABOUT ALL THAT THINGS PEOPLE DONT KNOW ITS SO CRAZY IF YOU ONLY KNEW I WONDER IF PEOPLE KNEW CERTAIN THINGS WOULD THEY STILL FEEL THE SAME YES BOTH FAMILIES SUFFERED A LOSS AT LEASE SHE CAN C HERS WE CANT......FOR NOW CUZ HE WILL B HOME

So she traumatically shook a baby within an inch of its life, lied about it, told two stories then admitted it? And the result of her actions led to a life long / life threatening disability?

Nearly killing a child is no mistake, madwife. Also, why don't you go back to school. It takes us all so long to understand what it is you are trying to say.
Janay, I am praying for you and your baby!

Say what u want been there graduated top of my class so have fun with ur words..............funny continue writing bye now ;-)

Holy shit some of these comments are ridiculous... mad wife you my friend are the definition of ignorant.... you just made your best attempt to insult a CHILD talking about the apple don't fall far from the tree.... wtf lol go write your man a letter

Hell na its a small world after all... everyone on here knows each other

Get it right sweetheart MY TITLE HIS WIFE NOT SOME SILLY GIRL WHO CAUGHT FEELINGS EARLY NOT A GIRLFRIEND OR X, NOTHING BUT LOVE COMING MY FOR MY HUSBAND. AWW SOMEONE CANT KEEP MY NAME OUT THEY MOUTH DO I DETECT JEALOUSY WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA COME BACK TO GA AND LAY UP WITH HIM THIS TIME SORRY BOO STOPPED U DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS, N I PLUS I HAVE WAY MORE SMARTS THEN YO ASS, LIL MAN MUST NOT B THAT IMPORTANT CUZ U STILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN URS SELF TO PEOPLE I RIGHT TOO DAMN IM A POPULAR GORGEOUS SMART WIFE THAT WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE

boy u funny really

I believe that if there is edvice of a baby beingin shaken u can't deny that and if he pleaded guilty then that means he did it... I know I would never plead to anything I didn't do that's for sure

Mad wife, how could you have graduated top of your class when you can't possibly know what punctuation marks are?

I believe he did it. Cuz why would he change his story when they asked him what happen obviously hes lying. It happen when the baby was in his care. And when ur not guilty u only have one story and you stick to that story. Thats one lame ass excuse tripping over a damn cat. Ive fall down two stairs leaving my house with my baby in my arms and diaper bag on my shoulder I landed on my knees messed up my leg and my baby did not fall out of my arms. So how can he tripp over a cat drop his baby and caused swelling in the brain blood clots behind the eyes and blindness. Uuumm!! Yeah right. He abused this poor baby and I truly honestly hope he dies in prison. Anyone that does harm to any child has no rights to be free and walk da streets like nothing happen.
