Victims of “Goon Squad” speak out
SUMMARY: A press conference was held regarding the sentencing of the ‘Goon Squad' members in Rankin County. Community leaders and victims gathered to discuss their hopes for the outcome. Attorneys representing the survivors are seeking the maximum amount of years for the crimes each member pleaded guilty to. The six members of the Goon Squad, including Hunter Elward who shot one victim in the face, pleaded guilty to torturing the victims and making false reports. A petition to remove Sheriff Bryan Bailey from office has gathered over 30,000 signatures, but Bailey claims he had no knowledge of the Goon Squad's actions before they were exposed. Victim Michael Jenkins is hopeful for justice.
