SUMMARY: Willie Hamblen, an 84-year-old preacher from Mississippi, is recovering from injuries sustained after being robbed and beaten while waiting for a tow truck in Memphis. After making a wrong turn near the airport and getting stuck on railroad tracks, he was approached by two men, one armed with an assault rifle, who demanded his belongings. They assaulted him, resulting in a concussion, broken ribs, and cuts. The robbers stole his phone, wallet, and car keys, totaling around $1,100. Grateful for the assistance he received afterward, Hamblen is thankful for his life and the support from his community as he aims to return to preaching soon.

SUMMARY: Closing arguments began on September 20 in the trial of Carly Gregg, a Rankin County teen accused of killing her mother, Ashley Smylie, in March 2024. Prosecutors presented expert witnesses highlighting inconsistencies in her statements, particularly regarding hallucinations prior to the shooting. The defense rested its case earlier, and Gregg faces serious charges, including first-degree murder and attempted murder, with a possible life sentence if convicted. The court denied her motion to transfer the case to Youth Court due to her admission of marijuana use prior to the incident. Gregg, held on a $1 million bond, pled not guilty.
