SUMMARY: Hinds County Court Judge still sees Edwards as a flight risk, and his attorney Thomas M. Fortner will no longer represent him due to lack of payment. The court did, however, accept Edwards' petition for attorney fees. Edwards claims he wants to work and not be a burden on the court or county, and says he wouldn't have financial problems if granted bond. Judge Faye Peterson points out that once a defendant runs, they are seen as a flight risk. Edwards responds that he did not run, as the warrant for his arrest was issued the day after he left. Judge Peterson responds with a “thank you” and “amen.”
