Legal fight over Mississippi counting mail ballots after Election Day is revived
SUMMARY: A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit challenging Mississippi’s absentee ballot policy, which counts ballots postmarked by Election Day but received within five days thereafter. The ruling, however, is unlikely to impact the upcoming November 5 election, as it will take time for appeals to be processed. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a July ruling that dismissed the case, sending it back for further action. While the state law has bipartisan support, concerns were raised about its effects on voting integrity. The lawsuit’s outcome could have implications for similar laws in other states.

Mississippi teen killer’s defense advocates for new trial because she was in horse โtherapy,’ hearing voices
SUMMARY: Defense attorney for 15-year-old Carly Gregg argues for a new trial, citing prior equestrian therapy for auditory hallucinations. In September, a jury convicted her of murder and aggravated assault for the March shooting that killed her mother and injured her stepfather, with Gregg receiving life sentences for the first two charges and ten years for tampering with evidence. The defense claims new evidence regarding her mental health supports a different verdict. However, Judge Dewey Arthur denied the request, stating that the new information wouldn’t likely change the trial’s outcome, as it could have been discovered earlier.
