SC police: Mother won’t tell them where son is:

Police search from Charlotte to Atlanta for missing SC boy:

Agencies from Georgia, South Carolina search for missing child:

22-year-old Zinah Jennings and her 18-month-old son Amir went missing around Thanksgiving of 2011. Amir’s grandmother filed a missing persons report in early December. Zinah Jennings has turned up, but there is no sign of her son, and she’s not talking.

In her hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, Jennings was involved in a one-person car crash on Christmas Eve. Amir was not with her. When questioned by police, Jennings allegedly gave them several false stories about Amir being anywhere from Raleigh to Atlanta and just about everywhere in between. All leads that she has given them have not turned up anything.

After nothing turned up, Jennings was arrested on December 29th and charged with unlawful conduct toward a child and held on a $150K bond.

Any of this sound even remotely familiar to anyone?

I don’t have cable anymore, so I don’t know what kind of TV coverage this is getting, so I went to the major news websites. CNN.com had a brief mention, as did FoxNews.com, and I couldn’t even find it on the front page of MSNBC. Of course, I saw nothing mention on the *spit* Nancy Grace section of CNN.

I could be wrong. This could end up getting major national media attention. More than likely though, it will just be another minority child ignored by the national media, much like Giovanni Gonzalez.

That’s not to say the disappearance of Amir Jennings will be ignored here. I will be posting any and all updates as they become available and as my schedule allows.

I pray to God that he is found alive and safe.

Thanks to Haydee for the tip.

    Dear God I hope his doesn’t turn into nother Casey Anthony case! Now that there is precedence another jury could let another murdering mom off. 😦
    Poor little guy. Where is he? Such a gorgeous child. Looks like mom has a black eye…I wonder if she slipped away for some nookie with yet one more testosterone poisoned crazy and he killed the little boy?

  6. No coverage because he isn’t a child of an affluent caucasian/white family.  sad but true.  Minority child crimes do not get reported as much as affluent white child crimes.  This wont turn into another Casey Anthony trial because, this woman will be found guilty.  Hate to say it but race does go a long way in this.  She’ll be found guilty whereas Casey was found innocent of the same exact crime.  I hope that little boy gets justice though..either way.  Stupid corrupt system…the lot of it.

    1. While I agree with most of your comment, I must say, Casey Anthony was not aquitted because she was white, it was because of the fucked up way the prosecution presented their case.  It’s not always a race thing most people, including those on the jury, wanted to fry that ho, but the prosecution did not present a strong case and there was a lot of resonable doubt based on the lack of evidence, changing testimony, and the flat out bad job done by the prosecution.

      2. I basically agree.  However, in both the similar Anthony and Simpson cases, I believe the prosecution presented sufficient evidence, albeit very poorly.  I don’t really believe that there is “reasonable doubt” about Anthony’s guilt (and certainly not about Simpson’s) I believe the jury was predisposed to acquit in both cases, for various reasons, and used the poor presentation of the (nevertheless damning) evidence as an excuse to do so.  So the prosecution was poor, in both cases, but the jury was stupid (or “unreasonably doubtful”) as well.

        1. The Simpson verdict was a joke, the evidence was all there to convict him.  He got a pass because he was a famous athelete.  Period.

          I totally disagree with you about Anthony’s trial, though.  I was borderline obsessed with the case, and on day 1 of the trial I told my sister that they were going to find her not gulity, the prosecutor’s opening statement was just a preview of the mess of a case the state had.

          1. I don’t give a fuck if you’re purple with pink penii on you, I never said that if she was black she would not have been convicted, based on the evidence.  I said, in her case, and her case alone, that she was aquitted based on the trial, not because she was white.  Everybody and their mother wanted that bitch convicted (including the jurors that were interviewed), but the LAW was on her side.  I know, I know, if she was black, the jurors wouldn’t have cared about the law, since you know, everybody (except you) is racist, but you’re making idiotic and played out assumptions.  

            Not to say that racism in the legal system doesn’t exist, it does, but to say it’s hugely rampant is a bit of an overstatement.  There are MANY more factors at play than race, and it’s people like you (while, liberal guilt) that keep that “It’s just because I’m black” bullshit alive.  I’d bet dollars to doNUTS that a rich black person has a better chance of aquittal than a poor white one. 

            And since you want to throw race out there, my mother’s white, my father hispanic.  I also have three mixed children, and if ANY of them ever tried to play the race card, I’d slap the shit out of them with it.

It wasn’t poking the bear, dork, it was the tone of her comment.  I cannot stand people that use race as justification, which is what she was doing.  It was not the fact that she was white which made the jury find her innocent, and her assumption that if the whore was black she would have been found guilty was just another way of playing the race card, which pisses me off.

  7. I just googled the case.  The only two MSM news outlets that came up on the first page are Fox News and ABC News.  Unless you count HuffPost and the Daily Fail as MSM, in which case that’s four, though the Daily Fail isn’t really mainstream to Americans (and barely so for Brits).  

    Great, another minority child for the MSM to ignore.  And another minority for the courts to throw the book at while letting whites off for the same damn crime.

    1. I think that there was so much scrutiny of the case, that they made it a point to be 100% impartial and fair.  I also think that they wanted to convict, and a few admitted they thought she was guilty,but they went with letter of the law instead and that lead to the verdict.

      1. I agree with you that this was probably their motive, but I think the jury took the concept of “fairness” too far and gave her the benefit of the “doubt” when there was in fact no doubt.  That’s what I mean when I say they were muleheaded and perverse.  Besides, weren’t they there to render a judgment?  If, in their judgment, she WAS guilty, shouldn’t they have VOTED “guilty”?  It reminds me of a couple of jurors from the Jackson trial who said afterwards they believed he was guilty.  Well gee guys, don’t you think you might have wanted to vote “guilty” then?  A hung jury would have allowed another trial.  Instead I guess they got peer pressured into voting “not guilty” against their actual judgment.  It sounds like the same thing happened here.

        But enough of my opinions.  She got off and nothing can be done about it – unless she’s stupid enough to give the justice system another shot at her, as Simpson did.  I hate to wish for that because it would probably mean another dead child…

        1. Ok, I get that now (the muleheaded and perverse thing).

          The judical system is set up so that just because you think, or believe, or “know” that someone is guilty is not enough.  The prosecution has to have enough evidence to support their theory to get a conviction.  If they don’t (like in the mudering whore’s case), the jury has no choice but to find them not guilty, regardless of their personal opinions of the matter.  I think, hell I KNOW, that bitch killed her daughter, but I am the first to admit that I don’t blame the jury for their findings.  I put the blame for this cunt getting away with murder on the prosecution’s shitty job and her mother.  Cindy Anthony is a HUGE reason she was aquitted and the prosecution’s biggest mistake was basing a large part of their case on her testimony, IMHO.

          But you’re right, enough of our opinions.  Hopefully, karma will take care of that skank.

  12. I watched every minute of the trial.  I think that the prosecution did a fine job and that the evidence showed that Casey Anthony was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.   I think that she had three things going for her.   First,  I think that  the jury members were people who don’t want to believe that evil exists.  As one of the alternates said, “I think I speak for the entire jury when I say that it just HAD to be a tragic accident.”   I think they liked that better than the thought that this pretty young woman could have found her child a burden and preferred to have her dead than let her grandmother have her.  Of course they didn’t know that Casey had already told a different lie to two psychiatrists, that her own father had deliberately murdered the child, but had been presumably told by her attorneys that an accident story would sell better.   One of the reasons I like this site is because everyone here gets it, evil does exist and sometimes it wears a pretty face.

      This is just one of the reasons why you think there was enough evidence and the jury did not.  There was alot of information and rumor out there that the jury was not privvy to or was told to ignore by the judge. 

      I completly disagree with your other statements, though.  Especially since three jurors said they thought she killed her daughter, but the prosecution did not present enough evidence to support the charges.  How do you think the prosecution did cleaning up the damage Cindy Anthony did to their case?

  13. Second, I think this jury watches too much television.   They wanted DNA and surveillance tapes and a dramatic confession scene.

    And finally I think that they were lazy.  They just didn’t want to do the work of putting a complex tapestry of events together.   If they had done that, if they had considered the sheer weight of the evidence, it comes back to Casey every time.  

    Do we know exactly what happened, every minute?  Of course not and that’s not possible.    Whether you believe as George does that Casey drugged and duct taped her to keep her quiet somewhere so she could go party with her friends and she died of an overdose or asphyxiation or whether you believe as I do that she deliberately set out to kill her because she was jealous of her own child and wanted to get back at her mother after their argument, either way it’s murder.  There isn’t a plausible alternative. 

    She drowned in the pool and George either dumped the body in the woods or made Casey do it?  Or George actually killed her?  Then why did Casey sit quietly in jail and reassure a crying George on tape that he was a wonderful father and this was not his fault?

    Nothing but Casey murdering the child makes any sense at all as an explanation for how she died.

    1. “Nothing but Casey murdering the child makes any sense at all as an explanation for how she died.”

      But did the prosecution present enough evidence to support this?  NO.  Yes, I agree, Casey killed her because she just didn’t want to be a parent and was a vindictive slut that wouldn’t allow her parents to take her, but there was NO EVIDENCE that she did kill her, and the prosecution’s circumstantial case was supported by testimony that was shaky, borderline perjury, and just flat out contradictory.  It’s not a matter of being lazy, they didn’t have the evidence to support the prosecution’s charges.  And let’s not forget that the prosecution made a HUGE mistake by only charging her with first degree, premeditated murder.  Circumstantial evidence on a death penalty case and not giving the jury another option (second degree, first degree reckless) is the reason Casey Anthony is walking free.

      I’m leaving the rest of your comment alone, the content of it speaks for itself.

  16. The prosecution presented enough evidence for me (and I thought so before I knew about the lie to the psychiatrists).  Casey was the last person to be seen with her daughter, unless you believe that she and her father conspired to cover up an accidental drowning and make it look like a murder, and she told police that she had taken her to her imaginary nanny’s apartment.   The child was found in the woods with duct tape over her face when there is no reason to duct tape a child who has drowned in an accident.

    Circumstantial is not a dirty word.   It just means evidence that requires inference.   DNA evidence is circumstantial!   Eyewitness testimony is not considered circumstantial since if you believe it, it’s direct evidence that someone committed the crime.   I would trust a good circumstantial case over someone’s eyewitness identification of a stranger any day.

    If I were the last person to see my husband and other family members reported him missing and I said that I had dropped him off at a friend’s house but that ‘friend’ was nonexistent and the apartment had been empty for months, what would you think?  If his body turned up months later, skeletonized in the woods and I then (having been driving around in a car with a foul odor and having borrowed a shovel from the neighbor) said, oh he actually drowned in the backyard pool and my mother made me dump him in the woods, would you be thinking, hmmm could be true?  Or would you convict me of murder if you were on a jury?

    The jury had the option of convicting her on lesser offenses than first degree murder and they didn’t.

    1. You are absolutely correct, I should have put it another way.  If the prosecution would have charged her differently, they might have presented their case differently.  They were so intent on showing premeditation, that PROVING (which you seem to have a problem understanding what that means, maybe you want to look that up) she actually committed the murder was an afterthought.  There was no evidence that PROVED Casey put the duct tape on Caylee, there was no evidence that PROVED she was the person who killed her, there was no evidence that PROVED Caylee was dead in her mother’s trunk.  Plain and simple.  That is the entire point of a trial, presenting EVIDENCE to PROVE that a defendant committed a crime.  Yes, there was evidence supporting the fact that Caylee died at the hands of that cunt, but not beyond a reasonable doubt.  It was all circumstantial (your views on that are delusional) WITHOUT corroborating evidence.  Oh yeah, I forgot, they tried to corroborate the flimsy circumstantial evidence with Cindy Anthony’s testimony.   
       
      Whatever, the bitch got away with murdering her child.  You want to blame the jury by saying they were lazy and just didn’t want to convict that little sweetheart, you go on living in that fantasy land.  Hopefully, you and your family never have to rely on a prosecutorial staff more intent on proving a point than on real justice.

This “it” with the bad weave and even worse hair color has “misplaced” her 18 month old angel and is REFUSING to tell police or anyone else where he is. This baby has been missing for over a YEAR and this is the first we have heard about it???? I don’t know about anyone else but I am outraged, angry, frustrated and just plain pissed off that the news has not taken this and ran with it. Okay so Amir disappeared while all the world was tuned to the murder of little Caylee- but WOW- you would think that someone would have compaired the stories (baby missing, grandmother files missing person, “it” shows up with no child and conflicting stories) gosh am I the only one to see the similarities here? Personally when I saw her mug shot I got the feeling that she may have been thinking that since Casey got away with it- then I have a chance and they can’t prove any different. I just pray the Amir is not an angel and is with someone who really does love him.

  24. When I had my baby (8 now) I am sure I had the blues, never told by the doctor but things just changed after a year.  The world seemed brighter.  The problem I had the first year was letting anyone hold her because I was afraid they would drop her or hurt her in some way.  I had a hard time letting anyone take care of her because I was afriad they couldn’t do it right.  It took many more years to relax my feelings of someone hurting her.  Still over protective!!!!!!  What I don’t understand is how a mother has NO attachment to her child?   If she did, we would not hear so many storys of children going missing and the mother ” Not knowing where they are”.  When I read these stories I just want to cry.  Why do these mothers not feel the same way as I did having my own child.  I would hurt anyone who hurt my baby prison or not!!!!!  Certainly would not protect them!
