Man gets 10 years in prison for trafficking guns from Mississippi to Chicago
SUMMARY: Derrick Stewart, Jr., a 20-year-old from Illinois, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his involvement in a gun trafficking conspiracy. His sentence, issued by U.S. District Court Judge Sharion Aycock, will be followed by three years of supervised release. ATF agents discovered that firearms purchased in north Mississippi were linked to crimes in Chicago, with some guns modified to fire automatically. Over 60 illegally acquired firearms were traced back to Stewart and his accomplices. The case, part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, emphasizes collaboration among law enforcement to combat gun violence in urban areas.

Carly Madison Gregg seeks new trial, prosecution says it’s no surprise
SUMMARY: Carly Madison Gregg, a 15-year-old, was convicted of murder and attempted murder, resulting in two life sentences without parole. Her trial followed the killing of her mother and an attack on her stepfather in March. Shortly after the verdict, her defense team filed for a new trial, arguing that the trial was unfair due to the exclusion of key witnesses. Prosecutors expect the appeal but maintain that the conviction was just. If denied, the defense plans to appeal to higher courts. Both sides await Judge Dewey Arthur’s decision regarding the defense’s motion.

Mississippi Supreme Court rejects latest appeal of man on death row since 1976
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court unanimously denied the appeal of 78-year-old Richard Gerald Jordan, who has been on death row for nearly 50 years for the 1976 kidnapping and murder of Edwina Marter. Jordan, originally unemployed and desperate for money, broke into the Marter home while posing as an electric company worker. After murdering Marter and demanding ransom, he was eventually captured by police. Despite numerous appeals since his sentencing, he continues to challenge the state‘s execution methods. As of now, there is no set execution date, but his attorneys plan to have his case reheard.
