Domestic violence program
SUMMARY: In the midst of Breast Cancer Awareness month, nonprofit organization Butterflies by Grace is trying to bring attention to the issue of domestic violence. The organization aims to provide support and education for survivors of domestic violence. The Mississippi State Department of Health reports that 1 in 10 teens report experiencing physical abuse from their romantic partners. Domestic violence can affect children coming from toxic environments, leading to unhealthy relationships as early as 12 years old. Abuse in teen relationships often goes unnoticed because people may not recognize the signs. Butterflies by Grace suggests that educating teens about healthy relationships is crucial in preventing teen dating violence.

Jury to begin deliberations in Beth Ann White retrial
SUMMARY: The state rested its case after calling nearly 20 witnesses in the trial of Beth Ann White, who is charged with four counts of aggravated DUI and DUI for a crash that killed two people and severely injured two little girls. The defense rested without calling any witnesses, and testimony wrapped up with new evidence from a pediatric neurosurgeon describing the girls' horrific injuries. A witness testified that White ran a red light and crashed into the victims' car, and accident reconstruction showed White was driving at a high speed. White's blood alcohol content was found to be three times the legal limit, indicating she had been drinking heavily before the crash.
