Motions filed for two execution dates to be set in Mississippi
SUMMARY: Mississippi is seeking execution dates for two men, Willie Jerome Manning and Robert Simon. This would mark the third year in a row with executions in the state after a nine-year period without any. Despite growing trends of other states moving away from the death penalty, Mississippi lawmakers don't foresee a change. Some groups, such as Death Penalty Action, argue that the state should reconsider its stance. However, Senator Brice Wiggins, who worked on the Willie Jerome Manning case, believes the victims' perspective is often overlooked in these discussions. The Office of Capital Post-Conviction Counsel claims that evidence suggesting Manning's innocence is being disregarded.

SUMMARY: A 15-year-old boy, Jonas Pippins, died after being pulled from the pool at the Clinton Branch YMCA in Clinton, Mississippi, on Sunday, May 19. Lifeguards at the scene attempted resuscitation before EMTs took over. Despite these efforts, Pippins could not be revived. LeRoy Falcon, CEO of the Metropolitan YMCAs of Mississippi, expressed deep sorrow over the incident and stated that an internal review is being conducted to understand the circumstances better. The incident has left the YMCA community profoundly saddened, and their thoughts and prayers are with the victim's family, friends, and those who assisted.

SUMMARY: A traffic stop in Itawamba County, Mississippi, on May 16 led to the arrest of 23-year-old Dustin Wildmon for drug charges and felony escape. Authorities, including the Itawamba County Sheriff's Department and various narcotics units, found 600 fentanyl pills and amphetamines in Wildmon's vehicle after stopping him for careless driving. Wildmon attempted to flee the scene but was caught with the help of a good Samaritan. He faces charges of trafficking Schedule II controlled substances, felony possession of a Schedule II drug, and felony escape. Wildmon is held at the Itawamba County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

SUMMARY: The Institute for Justice (IJ) sent a letter to Jackson, Mississippi, urging city leaders to repeal an ordinance mandating gas stations and convenience stores to install security cameras connected to the Jackson Police Department (JPD). Approved by the Jackson City Council in April 2024, the ordinance requires businesses to set up surveillance systems within 120 days and pay a $950 fee. IJ argues this violates constitutional rights. “The city council is turning Jackson into a police state and singling out certain businesses to pay for it,” stated IJ Attorney Jared McClain, emphasizing that surveillance demands shouldn't infringe on constitutional freedoms.
