Retrial for Beth Ann White begins Monday
SUMMARY: In Hinds County, Mississippi, Beth Ann White is facing her second trial for a crash that killed a mother and her six-month-old son in November 2021. During the first trial, it was alleged that White had a blood alcohol content level more than three times the legal limit. The defense questioned the right of way during the crash, resulting in a mistrial due to the jury's inability to reach a consensus on a verdict. White was indicted on four counts of aggravated DUI and has pled not guilty. After the trial ended with a hung jury, the county re-indicted White for the charges.

Mississippi lawmakers send education, PERS bills to governor
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers settled contentious issues, sending a new public education funding formula to Governor Tate Reeves.

The compromise was well-received by lawmakers and educators, providing a more understandable and predictable funding mechanism. Additionally, a deal was reached on the Public Employees' Retirement System, which mandates an increase in contributions but will not impact current benefits. House Speaker Jason White emphasized the importance of prioritizing education funding, PERS, and healthcare access in Mississippi, expressing hope for further compromises in the future.
