Former Rankin Co. deputies accused of torturing 2 Black men arraigned
SUMMARY: Six Rankin County deputies, along with Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker, appeared in court for their alleged involvement in the beating, torturing, and sexual assault of two Black men. The deputies have waived their right to a trial by a grand jury and no bond has been set. The incident occurred on January 24, 2023, when the deputies entered the Braxton residence without a warrant. The men were handcuffed and subjected to tasers, gunshots, waterboarding, and sexual assault. Jenkins and Parker are seeking $400 million in damages and are accusing the deputies of various crimes, including attempted murder. Four of the deputies have been identified, including one off-duty officer from the Richland Police Department. The deputies have been terminated from their positions, and the department is working to restore public trust. Previous allegations of excessive force by some of the deputies have also been reported. No body camera or dashcam footage is available for the January 24 incident.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, along with 38 other attorneys general, is urging Congress to ban pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from owning pharmacies. Growing concerns among small pharmacy owners and consumers highlight PBMs’ influence on drug pricing, which can harm independent pharmacies and access to healthcare, particularly in rural areas. Fitch argues that PBMs leverage their power to manipulate drug prices and impose unfair terms on pharmacies. A recent push for legislation to regulate PBMs and prevent practices like spread pricing has stalled. The attorneys general’s letter to Congress seeks to protect consumers and small businesses from PBM exploitation.

SUMMARY: This fall, college football in Mississippi will see key rule changes, primarily targeting fake injuries. Players faking injuries to delay games will now result in their team being charged a timeout if a medical evaluation occurs after the next play’s ball is spotted. If no timeouts remain, a 5-yard penalty will be imposed. Additionally, overtime rules change, allowing one timeout per team starting at the third overtime. The NCAA will simplify instant replay announcements and introduce stricter regulations on scrimmage formations. Other changes include penalties for distracting signals and the option for coach-to-player communication in the Football Championship Subdivision.
