SUMMARY: Former radio host William Polo Edwards is on trial for murder, and a woman named Shadow Robinson testified that she had a romantic relationship with him. Robinson described how Edwards became obsessed with her after they had a sexual relationship, but she ended things when she discovered he was married with children. Robinson claimed that Edwards stalked her and was jealous of any man she talked to. In a dramatic turn, Robinson told the jury that she saw Edwards standing over Robert Davis moments after he shot him in the hallway of her home. Edwards' defense requested a break after Robinson's emotional outburst, but the judge denied the request.

The defense in William Edwards' trial asks for a mistrial after an outburst from the prosecution's star witness.

SUMMARY: Governor deemed this project the largest capital investment in Mississippi's history. Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes is addressing confusion about new parking meters downtown, activated on May 1st. Stokes received numerous complaints about parking tickets despite correct meter use. He proposes a 90-day grace period to educate people on using the meters properly.
