Did “bored” teen James Edwards learn about crime from his mother? Edwards is the 15-year-old apparent gang member accused of shooting Australian baseball player Chris Lane in the back last Friday. He appeared in court Tuesday and reportedly made a mockery of the proceedings.
A search on Mugshots.com turns up one Brenda M. Edwards, 50, of Stephens County, Oklahoma. I called the Stephens County district attorney’s office today and confirmed that Brenda M. Edwards is James Edwards’ mother.
Edwards is currently incarcerated in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections . Her extensive rap sheet begins in 1994 with a conviction for larceny, and spans her son’s entire life. Click on the image to enlarge.
She has three known aliases. As things stand now, her relationship with Oklahoma’s criminal justice system won’t end for several decades. Her multiple convictions include distribution of cocaine. She was in court in Duncan, OK, as recently as May 2010, when she was found to have violated her parole by obtaining prescription drugs by fraud. Her probation was revoked.
If we’re going to blame a “culture” for James Edwards’ alleged part in Chris Lane’s murder, as some want to blame the so-called “gun culture,” shouldn’t the culture of recidivist criminality come under scrutiny?
Someone (or something) f*cked that!!??
There are called sperm whales.
Silly Rabbit. Hate crime can only be committed by whites against blacks. Don’t you know nuthin?
Black on white crime is just payback for all dat slavery and stuff lik dat.
Jones must have been born a poor black child.
Look coordinated colors!
Is edwards a Mongoloid or what?
If obastard had a son he’d be just like Luna... half-assed half-black.
Dey all look like they’d make some buck a good wife. I hope they don’t have a nice time in the penn. Big Mac is old and ugly. Maybe they can watch their little buddy fry.
No telling how many candidates there are. There had to be a lot of competition for that bad egg.
They’re related. The lighter skinned black and the “white” kid.
That is interesting. The so called White kid does appear to have some Black ancestry particularly his nose and lips.
I think they all 3 thought of themselves as Black.
I recall an actress named Bell mentioned that she was Black and I would never have guessed.
Hmmmmmmmm. Not a bad outcome at all.
Now, who do I know that lives in South Carolina?
;-)
I honestly do not think “blending” is the problem.
I think parenting (or the lack thereof) and LBJ’s “war on poverty” are the real culprits.
I was a bit of a hard-headed lad, so I think I may have made the mistake twice, or perhaps even thrice, put you are essentially correct. The message gets though.
Yikes! OK, thanks. I now see this woman is just like almost every mother-of-a-thug...
Sigh...
