- David Ruhnke and Jean deSales Barrett
Brooke Bennett’s grandmother, Lucinda Milne, went to federal court in Burlington last Friday hoping the judge would set a February trial date for her granddaughter’s alleged killer.
It was four years to the day since Michael Jacques was arrested in connection with the rape and murder of Bennett, his year-old niece — a brutal crime that shocked and outraged Vermont and led to the passage of tougher sex-crime laws.
Milne attended the scheduling conference, at which Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Nolan confirmed that federal prosecutors could be ready for trial in six months. From the bench, U.S. District Judge William K. Sessions III agreed that “this case has been going on a long time, and we should be pushing this along.”
But just minutes later, Sessions laid out a more leisurely timetable and set a trial date of September 3, Later, outside the courthouse, a teary-eyed and shaky Milne said, “That sounds like September to me right now.”
The reason for the delay: a scheduling conflict. One of the two death penalty specialists appointed to defend Jacques is representing another accused killer in January in Puerto Rico. The trial is expected to last six months. As attorney David Ruhnke told Sessions last week in Burlington, “I can’t be in two places at once.”
Seated beside the white-haired Ruhnke was Jean deSales Barrett, his wife and longtime law partner. The two are among the most acclaimed death penalty lawyers in the U.S. The New Jersey-based couple was appointed to Jacques’ defense team in after federal prosecutors decided to seek the death penalty for the accused killer.

E Money Bags was the rap alias of Eric Smith, who released his self-titled album in on the indie Grand Imperial label. He was from Hollis, Queens, and worked with the biggest Queens cats, including Nasand Mobb Deep. He was also down with The Live Squad, who you should remember from the BQ In Full EffectEP that started off Percee-P's career. They became affiliated with 2Pac (though let's not confuse them with The Outlawz); and they even put out a final record with him and 'Pac after his murder. Now, I'm not referring to 2Pac's murder, I mean E Money's.
E Money Bags was gunned down in July of This article from NYMinutedetails, "Law enforcement officials contend that Kenneth 'Supreme' McGriff ordered Eric Smith's murder to avenge the December killing of a friend, Colbert Johnson."Definitely one of those cases where a rapper's criminolgy lyrics turned out to be all too real and cost him his life.
Which brings me to this white label 12" I randomly came across: Nature featuring "Kool G" (Kool G Rap, of course). Every Kool G Rap record is worth having, so just seeing his name was enough for me to pick this one up, But I know Nature did a couple things with G Rap, but I didn't remember this song. Of course,
