Jan. 6 Chair Bennie Thompson says he’s ‘simply not afraid’ after Trump’s jail threat
SUMMARY: Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), co-chair of the House committee that investigated the January 6 insurrection, responded to President-elect Donald Trump’s threats to imprison committee members. Thompson affirmed that no threats or conspiracy theories can alter the historical truth of Trump’s responsibility for the violence that day. The committee found sufficient evidence against Trump for various charges, including obstruction and conspiracy. Former Rep. Liz Cheney also condemned Trump’s remarks as an attack on the rule of law, emphasizing Trump’s role in inciting the insurrection. As Trump prepares to return to office, concerns arise over potential misuse of the DOJ against political rivals.

Mistrial declared in case of man accused of killing Ole Miss student
SUMMARY: A mistrial was declared in the capital murder case of Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington, Jr., accused of killing former Ole Miss student Jimmie “Jay” Lee. After over nine hours of deliberation, the jury was deadlocked at 11-1 on a verdict. Herrington faced multiple charges, with prosecutors alleging he murdered Lee to hide a romantic relationship. Lee, a notable member of the LGBTQ+ community, has been missing since July 2022. The defense argued insufficient evidence linked Herrington to the crime. Despite evidence suggesting suspicious behavior, the jury ultimately couldn’t agree, prompting a retrial to be scheduled by the judge.
