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.

Republican congressmen introduce bill that would protect NCAA and conferences from legal attacks
SUMMARY: Republican Reps. Russell Fry and Barry Moore introduced the Protect the Ball Act to offer legal protection for the NCAA and related entities from lawsuits challenging their governance of college sports. The Act responds to legal pressures, including antitrust lawsuits and regulations concerning athlete endorsements since 2016. It aims to regulate recruitment, eligibility, and name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation. Amidst ongoing settlement talks that could lead to a revenue-sharing model for athletes, this legislation also seeks to establish a liability shield and a uniform standard for NIL compensation while preventing the classification of college athletes as employees. Seven bills have been proposed since 2020, but none have advanced; this Act supports broader NIL legislation.
