A white supremacist charged in the racially-motivated stabbing death of a black man backed out of a plea deal and asked the judge for a deferment because he was on pain medication.
James Harris Jackson, 30, an Army veteran, was expected to plead guilty Friday to charges stemming from the March 2017 murder of 66-year-old stranger Timothy Caughman in New York City.
Instead, the defendant, who hobbled into the Manhattan courtroom on crutches, told Justice Laura Ward that he didn't feel he was in the right state of mind to plead guilty because he'd taken painkillers for a broken foot.
Ward asked: 'Although you were prepared to plead guilty to all six counts today and to allocate to each of the counts, due to an injury you sustained in custody, you are currently under pain meds and you do not feel comfortable doing that?'
Jackson replied: 'That is correct.' The response elicited gasps of disbelief from the victim's family.
The now-defunct deal would have resulted in a life prison sentence for Jackson, the same length he would have gotten if convicted of just the top count at trial.
The judge ordered Jackson to return to court later this month, when he's scheduled to stand trial on charges that include murder as a hate crime.

Jackson turned himself in to police two days after he stabbed Caughman (pictured) to death in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, on the night of March 20, 2017
Jackson is allegedly a member of a documented hate group in Maryland who traveled from Baltimore to New York for the express purpose of killing black people.
Prosecutors say he stalked several black man before attacking Caughman in Hell's Kitchen, plunging a knife into his back and chest repeatedly.
Caughman stumbled into a police station after being stabbed multiple times in the back and chest on Monday, but died at the hospital.
The NYPD issued surveillance footage of the suspect running through the street afterwards in a bid to find him.
Later, Jackson presented himself to officers at the Times Square substation after midnight Tuesday, telling them: 'You need to arrest me. I have the knife in my coat.'
Police found two knives - one of which was the 26-inch black sword reportedly used to kill Caughman - in his jacket at the station, where he was kept for questioning.

The New York Daily News cited police sources who said Jackson came to Manhattan eager to kill and had 'rage against black men who get romantically involved with white women'.
The NYPD said Jackson revealed to them that he chose New York City specifically because of its reputation as 'the media capital of the world' and that he 'wanted to make a statement.'
In a video played at a pretrial hearing, Jackson says: 'I think we should just preserve the best people and get rid of all the dead weight. In my opinion, blacks are inferior people.'

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

A...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
