All it took was seven minutes for a Henderson County jury of six men and six women on Wednesday afternoon to convict Joy Lynn Everett of the Second Degree Felony of Possession of Methamphetamine. The verdict came at the conclusion of a trial taking place in 173rd Judicial District Court with Judge Dan Moore presiding.
Assistant District Attorneys Justin Weiner and Nancy Rumor prosecuted the case on behalf of Scott McKee's District Attorney Office.
The jury heard testimony that at 6:22 AM on September 14, 2010, Police Officers Jessie Ison and Kenneth Bee from the Gun Barrel City Police Department were dispatched to Golden Belle Bingo in Gun Barrel City to respond to a report of an intoxicated person. An employee observed Everett asleep in a chair profusely rubbing her genital area and scratching her face. The employee called 911 after several unsuccessful attempts to get Everett to leave the premises. Multiple patrons had complained of Everett's vulgar actions.
