SUMMARY: Thalia Mara Hall in downtown Jackson has been closed for over six months due to mold, a faulty HVAC system, roof leaks, and other safety issues, including asbestos and human waste.

SUMMARY: Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington, accused of killing Ole Miss student Jimmie “Jay” Lee, has been charged with tampering with evidence following the discovery of Lee’s remains in Carroll County.

SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Senate has approved the “In-Person Early Voting Act,” which would allow registered voters to cast ballots up to 15 days before an election without needing an excuse.

However, the bill faces opposition, with concerns about litigation and resistance from many circuit clerks. Despite this, the bill passed with bipartisan support and will now move to the House.
