SUMMARY: In Jackson, Mississippi, the family of Dau Mabil and their attorneys are unable to agree on a suitable doctor for an independent autopsy. Mabil's initial autopsy by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office identified his death as a drowning, but the manner of death remains undetermined. No signs of trauma were found, although ethanol was detected in his liver tissue. The disagreement involves attorney Lisa Ross and Mabil's brother, Bul Mabil, over the choice of pathologist Dr. Amy Gruszecki. Dau Mabil was found dead in the Pearl River in April 2024 after going missing in March.

SUMMARY: Federal judges have ordered Mississippi lawmakers to redraw legislative districts, finding that current lines weaken Black voters' influence in three regions. The mandate stems from a lawsuit by the Mississippi NAACP and Black residents. It requires creating a new majority-Black House district in Chickasaw and Monroe counties and new majority-Black Senate districts around DeSoto County and Hattiesburg. The state's Attorney General's office hasn't decided on an appeal. Legislative districts are redrawn post-census to reflect population shifts. For continuous updates, follow WCBI on Facebook and X.
