SUMMARY: Eight months after a federal judge authorized a new court for the Capitol Complex Improvement District, the court has yet to be established. House Bill 1020 granted Capitol Police jurisdiction over a significant area and instructed Chief Justice Michael Randolph to appoint judges for the cases brought by the Capitol Police. Justice Randolph stated he cannot appoint judges until a courtroom is available, expressing optimism for the future once a building is secured. The old Wright and Ferguson Funeral Home is designated to become the new courtroom and Capitol Police headquarters, while a temporary court setup is in progress.

SUMMARY: Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens expressed concerns about significant budget cuts to his office, which he claims could jeopardize public safety. The county board has approved a 33% reduction in his office’s administrative and investigative staff, leading to the layoff of four employees. Owens accused Board President Robert Graham of prioritizing the construction of a new $100 million jail over funding law enforcement. He stated that several board members were unaware of the scope of the cuts and highlighted that Hinds County has the highest crime rate in Mississippi, emphasizing the potential impact on prosecution resources.

SUMMARY: Sacred Heart’s Crusaders are off to a strong 3-0 start for the second consecutive season, fueled by returning talent and a solid work ethic. After a record-setting 10-win season and hosting their first playoff game, the team expects to build on its success. Key contributors include quarterback Kyen Murphy, who threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns against St. Andrews, and a veteran offensive line with four returning members. Coach Smith emphasizes the importance of experience and teamwork but warns that they must elevate their physicality to compete effectively against upcoming district rivals.
