Mississippi Supreme Court upholds conviction of man who killed 8 people in 2017
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court upheld the death sentence of Willie Godbolt, convicted of killing eight people in Bogue Chitto in 2017. The murders occurred at three different locations, and Godbolt received additional life sentences for half of the murders. Despite his appeal, arguing for a change of trial venue and questioning juror impartiality, the court found sufficient evidence to maintain his conviction. The crimes, which involved the murder of a deputy and family members after a domestic dispute, were found to be interconnected. No execution date has been set for the 41-year-old.

Mississippi governor signs bill banning machine gun conversion devices
SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed a bill into law to criminalize the manufacture, sale, and possession of machine gun conversion devices, such as “Glock switches.” These devices convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones. House Bill 903, authored by Rep. Kevin Felsher, carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine for violations. Felsher highlighted the need for state-level action, as current laws only address federal offenses. The law was celebrated by Moms Demand Action for enhancing public safety. Mississippi is the 16th state to enact such legislation.
