SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch has filed charges against six former law enforcement officers who were involved in a brutal attack. The Attorney General’s office is working closely with the US Attorney’s office, and Mississippi Deputy Attorney General Mary Wall has been deputized as a special assistant US attorney for this federal case. The attack not only caused physical harm but also severed the trust between law enforcement and the people. The Attorney General’s office is committed to delivering justice for the victims and urges anyone who has been a victim of abuse by a deputy with the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office to contact the FBI hotline.

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.
