CDC: Mississippians two to three times more likely to get sexually transmitted infections
SUMMARY: The CDC's 2022 STI Surveillance Report highlights Mississippi as having considerably high rates of sexually transmitted infections, with rankings such as second-highest for chlamydia, highest for gonorrhea, fifth-highest for syphilis, and sixth-highest for congenital syphilis, compared to national averages.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Court of Appeals has upheld Brittany Carter's conviction for the second-degree murder of Chornell Mayfield in 2017. Carter struck Mayfield with her car after a long-standing feud, leading to Mayfield's comatose state for two years until her death in 2019. Carter, who was sentenced to 40 years with 10 suspended, contested the evidence and claimed self-defense, but the court affirmed the conviction. Additionally, Carter faces a concurrent five-year sentence for possessing a stolen firearm, resulting in a total of 32 years in prison. The full court decision is available online.

SUMMARY: Brandon Williams and Miranda Trulove from Mississippi have been arrested for conspiring to defraud the state by claiming unemployment benefits for Williams while he was incarcerated. Williams would call Trulove from prison to apply for benefits on his behalf, which he then received through a debit card that she used. It's illegal in the state to obtain unemployment benefits while in prison. State Auditor Shad White emphasized the use of technology to uncover such fraud. If convicted, the couple could face up to five years in prison and $1,000 in fines each.
