SUMMARY: A judge in Hinds County, Mississippi has allowed the brother of Dau Mabil to conduct an independent autopsy after Dau's body was found in the Pearl River in Lawrence County. Dau went missing in March, and foul play is suspected by his family. Dau's widow, Karissa Bowley, has consented to the autopsy. The judge ruled that the Mississippi Department of Public Safety can keep Dau's body for up to 30 days for investigation before the independent autopsy is conducted. This decision comes amidst a legal battle over who has the right to request the autopsy.

SUMMARY: Beth Ann White is currently on trial for causing a crash that killed a mother and her six-month-old son, while also leaving the mother's two other children with brain and spinal injuries. White's blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit at the time of the crash, and she has been indicted on four counts of aggravated DUI. After the first trial ended with a hung jury, White was re-indicted and the retrial is currently ongoing. The defense is arguing whether White was actually under the influence at the time of the crash. The state has presented its case and the defense has not called any witnesses.
