SUMMARY: Abby Robinson, a Jackson native and attorney, is running for the Mississippi State Supreme Court after the current judge’s two terms have brought no change for residents. With a background in commercial construction and experience as a plaintiff’s attorney, Robinson emphasizes her campaign’s unique approach: she will not raise campaign funds or run ads, stating, “keep your money.” She advocates for term limits and promises to serve only one term if elected. Robinson encourages voters to take action against incumbents rather than waiting for legislative changes, emphasizing direct accountability to the people.

SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department (JPD) has solved the two latest homicides, making three arrests within 24 hours, with a fourth pending. Police Chief Joseph Wade attributes the 80% solvability rate to a new focused approach that prioritizes witness statements, physical evidence, and technology. He emphasizes accountability for violent crimes, aided by new federal resources after Jackson was designated a public safety partnership city. While crime rates have declined, Wade stresses the importance of community involvement and judicial reform, advocating for stricter bail for violent offenders to bolster crime-fighting efforts.
