BOSSIP Exclusive: Baby Mama Of Former MLB Player Found Dead In Father’s Day Murder/Suicide Torched Marital Home

Monica Jordan Was Convicted Of Felony Arson in 2008; Police Believe Jordan Murdered Ex-Baseball Player Darryl Hamilton Before Committing Suicide The lawyer who cops believe murdered former Major League Baseball player Darryl Hamilton before turning the gun herself pled guilty to torching her own marital home in 2006, BOSSIP has learned. Police said Monica Jordan shot Hamilton , 50, before ending her own life at their Pearland, Tx. home on Father’s Day. Jordan was the mother of their one-year-old son, who was at home at the time of the killings, but wasn’t harmed. BOSSIP can reveal that Jordan, 44, pled guilty to felony arson following the shocking 2006 incident where she admitted using a flammable liquid to set her own house on fire. The destructive move was apparently to get back at her now ex-husband Rohaven Richards, who had his stuff inside the house. The indictment said she knew the house was insured against arson, though it wasn’t clear Monday how much damage the fire caused. Despite the arson, and their eventual divorce, Richards still had a soft spot for Jordan, even writing a good character letter on her behalf to the judge. Richards didn’t respond to BOSSIP’s request for comment. Their divorce papers are sealed. She took a plea in 2008, copping to felony second-degree arson, and received 10 years of probation, according to records from the Brazoria County Court in Texas. However, in 2010 the probation was “deferred,” meaning that it would be dropped if she stayed out of trouble. Not much is known about Jordan except her crimes and that she’s been practicing law for 20 years. But Hamilton played professionally from 1988 to 2001, playing with four playoff teams before retiring and joining the MLB Network as an analyst in 2013.

Do You Even Care? Lauryn Hill Drops New Nina Simone-Inspired Music From New Album [Audio]

Lauryn Hill Drops New Nina Simone-Inspired Track From New Album Don’t call it a comeback for Lauryn … Via Complex Just days after her cover of “Feeling Good” added a fair amount of fuel to the hype fire surrounding both the forthcoming Nina Simone tribute album entitled Nina Revisited: A Tribute to Nina Simone and the Netflix documentary What Happened, Miss Simone?, Lauryn Hill is teasing even more Simone-inspired new music. Though Hill calls the tease a “snippet,” the clip’s 2:30 length gives a much less nuanced hint of the full track’s tone than the average 15 or 30-second teaser. “I’ve Got Life” is a raw and welcomed interpolation of Simone’s 1968 single “Ain’t Got No, I Got Life, ” with Hill’s vocal energy pulling the timely interpretation tastefully into the modern age. Are you over L-Boogie and all her shenanigans or are you eagerly anticipating new tunes from the former Fugee? Image via WireImage

GTFOHWTBS: Presidential Wannabe GOP Goon Rick Perry Calls Charleston Church Shooting “An Accident”

Jeb Bush, Chris Christie And Rick Perry Avoid Talking Gun Control Or Race After Charleston Shooting It should come as little to no surprise that the Republican candidates for President are poorly equipped to deal with matters of race or gun violence. Via NY Daily News reports : Jeb Bush and Chris Christie mourned the murders in Charleston without blaming lax gun laws or discussing race Friday while addressing an audience of religious conservatives. And potential presidential candidate Rick Perry, the former Texas governor, referred to the murders as an “accident” — though his spokeswoman said he intended to say “incident.” Perry, in an interview with the conservative publication Newsmax, criticized President Obama and other liberals’ “”knee-jerk reaction of saying ‘if we can just take all the guns away this won’t happen.’” At the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington, Christie declared that the shootings were “depraved” and “unthinkable” before suggesting that tighter gun control could not have prevented the shootings. “Laws can’t change this, only the goodwill and the love of the American people can let those folks know that that act was unacceptable, disgraceful,” he said, calling on people to pray for the families of the dead. In his remarks, Bush said initially that he didn’t know what motivated Dylann Storm Roof. “”I don’t know what was on the mind or the heart of the man who committed these atrocious crimes,” Bush said, adding: “In times like these, in times of great national mourning, people of faith, all of us must come together.” He did not mention guns. Roof made it clear during his shooting spree on Wednesday that he was there to kill black people. In appearances Thursday at the convention, Sens. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, other leading Republican presidential candidates, also avoided blaming guns. This is some BS… We can’t allow another Bush to set foot anywhere near the White House. And isn’t Rick Perry the one who used to vacation by the place with the N-Word nickname?
