SUMMARY: William “Polo” Edwards, who is incarcerated for murder, has made over 600 calls to the state's key witness, Shadow Robinson, according to Assistant District Attorney Gwen Agho. Robinson is expected to be a powerful witness in the case against Edwards. The content of the calls is still unclear as the prosecution is still reviewing the calls and texts obtained from the detention center. Edwards' attorney argues that the calls should not be admissible since they were only handed over six days before the trial. The judge will consider individual calls if they are presented by the state. The trial is expected to last two weeks.

SUMMARY: Brooksville Town Hall in Mississippi has been closed for a week due to the process of hiring new city officials. The mayor explained that the closure is necessary until the new hires are bonded and can handle money. Multiple city clerks have resigned, causing issues with citizens paying water bills. Despite new hires being bonded and told to report for work, the doors remain locked. The mayor clarified that he cannot control everything that happens at city hall. Residents can still pay water bills at a drop box, with late fees being waived. The mayor emphasized his commitment to upholding his oath to the town.
