Dwan Wakefield not put in jeopardy in Kingston Frazier case
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that Dwan Wakefield, convicted in the Kingston Frazier case, was not put in jeopardy by being charged with three separate counts of accessory after the fact. The court determined that each felony committed by a principal offender constitutes a single unit of prosecution. Wakefield witnessed Byron McBride steal Kingston Frazier's mother's vehicle, resulting in Frazier's death. Wakefield was sentenced to a total of 45 years in prison. Wakefield was the only suspect who did not take a plea deal, while McBride received life in prison and D'Allen Washington received 15 years but was later released and recently arrested on drug charges.

SUMMARY: Lowndes County Road Department workers teamed up with Columbus Public Works crews to clean up debris after a wind event. 28 county workers used 11 dump trucks to remove more than 100 loads of debris in two days. They cleared areas for utility crews to restore services and facilitated the replacement of streetlights and other repairs. Despite political boundaries, everyone worked together to get the job done efficiently. The county saw some damage near the new Sportsplex, but the city experienced the hardest hit areas. Collaboration between different departments expedited the clean-up process and aided in overall recovery efforts.

SUMMARY: Beth Ann White, 52, was found guilty of causing a crash that killed a mother and her six-month-old son, resulting in life-threatening injuries to the surviving children. She was convicted of four counts of aggravated DUI and faces up to 25 years in prison per count. Her attorney has filed a motion asking the court to disregard the jury's verdict, arguing that there was insufficient evidence, bias, and an impossibility in determining White's blood alcohol content at the time of the crash. White's sentencing is scheduled for May 15, where the court will make a decision based on the jury's verdict.
