SUMMARY: Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba addressed allegations surrounding his involvement in a bribery scandal following the indictment of Sherik Marve Smith for conspiracy to commit bribery. Lumumba denied any wrongdoing, stating he met Smith on several occasions but never conspired to commit a crime. Smith is the second individual charged in the scandal, having pled guilty and awaiting sentencing in February 2025.

SUMMARY: A Rankin County judge has denied Carly Gregg’s motion for a new trial following her conviction for murdering her mother. Judge Dewey K. Arthur found no new evidence that would likely alter the trial’s outcome, rejecting claims related to statements made by her father. Prosecutors argued the defense’s motion did not comply with legal requirements and affirmed the jury’s verdict. Carly Gregg, sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder and 10 years for tampering with evidence, is appealing to the Mississippi Supreme Court. The incident occurred on March 19, 2024, when Gregg allegedly shot her mother and injured her stepfather.
