Fossil collector finds mammoth tusk in Madison County
SUMMARY: A significant fossil discovery was made by Eddie Templeton in Madison County, Mississippi, where he uncovered a Columbian mammoth tusk while searching for fossils. This rare find, measuring seven feet, was only partially exposed and likely represents a unique specimen for the region, where mastodon remains are more common. A prompt response by the Mississippi State Geological Survey and the Museum of Natural Science ensured the tusk was excavated and preserved properly. The discovery provides insight into the Columbian mammoths that once inhabited central Mississippi, which were larger than the woolly mammoths of colder northern areas.

Supreme Court denies appeal for man convicted in the 1992 killing of two college students
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court has denied Willie Jerome Manning’s appeal against his 1994 death row conviction for the murders of two college students. Manning’s legal team argues that there is new evidence, including witness recantations and a lack of forensic links to the crime. Despite his attorney’s assertion that the court’s ruling disregards this evidence, the majority opinion stated that Manning has already received ample justice. Dissenting justices argued for a hearing to investigate the recantations. Manning’s lawyers have indicated intentions to pursue further legal options.
