Former Mississippi police officer sentenced for possession of child porn
SUMMARY: Former Mississippi policeman and part-time volunteer firefighter Corey Harrelson was sentenced to over 10 years in prison for possessing child sexual abuse materials. U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock ordered him to serve 121 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and pay $28,000 in total in restitution to eight known victims. The court documents revealed that Harrelson had computer files with images and videos of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including more than 80 known child victims. The FBI and Mississippi Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigated the case.

SUMMARY: House Speaker Jason White proposed a ballot initiative for Mississippi voters to voice their opinion on Medicaid expansion, which was not well-received by the Senate. House Democrats are pushing for a work requirement in the expansion but have faced opposition. With the federal government consistently denying Medicaid expansion plans with work requirements, many lawmakers see little point in supporting a measure that is unlikely to be approved. House Minority Leader Robert Johnson III presented a compromise to Senate leadership, but the Senate seems unreceptive. Lawmakers have until Thursday to reach a deal on a conference report or Medicaid expansion will die.

SUMMARY: A pro-Palestine protest at the University of Mississippi in Oxford turned into a shouting match between protesters and counter-protesters. The protesters were evacuated from the campus and the protest was in response to the Israeli military response in Gaza. Over 200 counter-protesters were also present, throwing objects, shouting, and singing The Star-Spangled Banner. The organizers of the pro-Palestine protest are unknown and Governor Tate Reeves stated that law enforcement is prepared to respond to any unlawful behavior. Despite differing views, peaceful protests are allowed and protected, but unlawful actions will not be tolerated.
