SUMMARY: A new law allowing for the creation of a separate C-C-I-D court in Jackson with appointed judges and prosecutors was challenged in court. The NAACP argued that the law would disproportionately impact Black residents, while the state claimed it was a response to Jackson’s crime problem. The court was set to go into effect on January 1st, 2024, but was under a temporary restraining order until September. The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled the creation of the court was constitutional, but the appointment of judges was not. Chief Justice Michael Randolph spoke about the need for additional judges to handle the high crime rate in Jackson. State Auditor Shad White was also involved in the lawsuit.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.
