SUMMARY: Jackson officials have scheduled a special election on October 1 to fill the vacancy left by City Councilwoman Angelique Lee, who resigned after pleading guilty to federal conspiracy to commit bribery. She accepted bribes totaling $13,654 in cash, along with other luxury items, in exchange for support on local developments. Lee’s sentencing is set for November 13, where she faces up to five years in prison. Speculation surrounds potential other individuals involved in the ongoing FBI corruption investigation, including Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens and Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, with further indictments expected within the next 90 days.

SUMMARY: James Williams III, a Mississippi man who served nearly two decades for the 2002 murders of his father and stepmother, died in a car crash in Rankin County. The accident on Highway 18 involved Williams’ 2009 Honda Civic and a 2019 GMC Sierra, resulting in his death at the scene. The other vehicle’s occupants, Curtis and Ruth Jones, were hospitalized. Williams, who faced life sentences for the murders, was paroled in 2023 after the U.S. Supreme Court deemed life sentences for minors unconstitutional. He was later reincarcerated for a DUI before his death. Further details about his passing remain unclear.
