Independent autopsy granted for body of Dau Mabil as questions in disappearance remain
SUMMARY: Following Dau Mabil's mysterious death, a Hinds County judge ruled on his body's handling amidst a lawsuit between his widow, Karissa Bowley, and brother, Bul Mabil. Judge Dewayne Thomas granted Bowley's request to replace Bul as the plaintiff, acknowledging her next of kin status despite their separation at Mabil's disappearance. Thomas also permitted an independent autopsy directed and funded by Bul, who doubts the investigation's thoroughness. Mabil's body is with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS) pending their autopsy. Statewide attention has led Bowley to agree to publicly share the autopsy findings. Mabil, a Sudanese immigrant, vanished on March 25 and was found deceased in the Pearl River.

Driver’s education set to become mandatory in Mississippi as bill passes
SUMMARY: Mississippi has passed Senate Bill 2695, making driver's education a mandatory course in public high schools. Authored by Republican Dennis DeBar, the bill received unanimous support from both chambers and awaits Governor Tate Reeves' approval. Prompted by high teen-driving fatalities in the state, officials emphasize the importance of teaching students additional road safety. Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, the courses will cover classroom learning and hands-on driving experience. Although a state-issued learner's permit isn't required for participation, it is recommended, allowing students as young as 14 to engage. The legislation also considers the budget impact on smaller school districts.

Robert St. John’s advice to upcoming graduates 2024
SUMMARY: Graduates should follow their passion to find success and happiness in their careers—money and fame are secondary. Personal life success comes from properly set priorities, not just seeking short-lived fun. Actions like befriending the underdog, laughing, and sharing kindness have lasting impacts. Taking care of oneself and maintaining relationships is crucial. People should strive to improve by small degrees every day. Additionally, individuals can enhance their communities by committing to “one thing” that makes a difference. Finally, giving generously without expecting a return and keeping a spirit of joy and love in all interactions is emphasized.
