Chance of parole denied for man who killed 3 Choctaw Indian tribal members
SUMMARY: Kenneth Clemons, now 42, who murdered three people at age 14 in Neshoba County, was denied parole by the Mississippi Court of Appeals. Despite arguments that life without parole for juvenile crimes is unconstitutional under *Miller v. Alabama*, the court distinguished that mandatory life without parole is banned, not discretionary ones considering factors like home environment and potential for rehabilitation. Clemons had killed members of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and, despite claims of possible rehabilitation and remorse, has continued aggression in prison, leading the court to consider him still dangerous. The ruling was unanimous.

Would bringing a casino to Jackson open Pandora’s box? Expert thinks so
SUMMARY: Mississippi officials are considering building a casino in Jackson to boost economic development and tourism. In March, House Bill 1989 proposed a program to finance a gaming center downtown, but it failed to pass. A coalition of business leaders, including former Gov. Haley Barbour, has since advocated for a casino in Jackson, citing the city’s population decline and the growing suburbs. However, state law restricts casinos to coastal or river areas, so legislative changes would be needed. Some industry leaders oppose the idea, fearing it could lead to more casinos in other cities and hurt existing establishments.
