SUMMARY: The defense in court today asked for the case to be taken to the Supreme Court and dismissed, but the judge denied the request and the trial of Beth Ann White will proceed. The case involves the November 2021 crash that killed Allison Conaway and her 6-month-old son, Alex. White has been convicted of DUI three times and is charged with aggravated DUI. The defense argued that the indictment was incorrect and motioned to dismiss, but the judge ruled against it. The state believes the defense is trying to delay the trial by seeking Supreme Court intervention. White's trial date is set to proceed.

SUMMARY: A new law in Mississippi prohibits representatives of renewable energy companies from donating to Public Service Commissioners and candidates for office. The bill aims to close a campaign finance loophole and prevent outside influence on decisions that affect rate payers. The law now bans donations from individuals representing public utility companies, including renewable energy companies like wind and solar. Senator Joel Carter introduced the bill, stating that it is a win for rate payers. The legislation follows previous reports of questionable campaign donations received by public service Commissioners in the state. More information on the impact of the new law will be provided on 12 News.
