Casey's Uncle: We're Shocked ... And We Aren't

TMZ spoke with retired Baptist preacher Odus Jackson, who is Jamie Lynn Spears' baby daddy's uncle by marriage. (You still with us?)


Uncle Odus tells us that Casey is a "fine young man" who has always been courteous. That sentiment is apparently shared by many in his small town of Gloster, Miss., where we've been told over and over again Casey is a good kid from a good family.

As for Jamie Lynn, Uncle Odus says he has only met her once, on Thanksgiving of this year. As for news of her pregnancy, he says he found out, like the rest of us, on Tuesday night. He tells us the family was "shocked' and yet "we aren't." As a pastor, Uncle Odus says he's seen "this type of thing" more often than he'd like.

For the complete interview with Casey's Uncle Odus, check out TMZ TV Thursday night.

18. Ol Odus has seen this too much but this time he's stumped... usually it's the uncle or cousin that plowed the little bitch

19. Jamie and Casey met at a church function
At 16, she's jail bait and then some.
His folks say he's a real good boy
For them, a discussion of sex wasn't a joy
It's too bad they don't know the use of a condom!

22. It would not be a felony JUH or any crime at all for that matter. Consent was given by the mother. That's how they do it in the dirty south

24. Betcha Good Ol' Uncle Otis.....er....Odus says he's a right to lifer, but inside he's hoping for an Immaculate Abortion! Also bet the words 'Whuuup sum ass!' have crossed his lips! Maybe he'll just thump him over the head with a bible! That'll learn ya!

25. I don't understand why everyone is giving Jamie such a hard time about this. In the U.S. alone, there is over 750,000 girls between the ages of 15-19 who become pregnant every year. It's nothing new, so I don't understand the big deal. I don't feel that this should fall on Mrs. Spears or Britney. Obviously Jamie made a mistake, but if you read or listen to what's going on, she said she will take responsibility.

It seems that people are going crazy over this. I wish people would make a big deal over the thousands of other girls getting pregnant every day....at least Jamie has the means to provide and care for this child.

I think that Jamie needs a break. I bet every person who is writing awful stuff about her and her family knows, has known, or can look to their left/right and see someone in the same predicament.

Have a heart.

26. Afraid not RILEY. I don't know any other 16 year olds getting plowed and impregnated by a 19 year old. Famous (so to speak) to boot. But nice try. I think we will keep pouncing her.
