TV "news."

On a legal note, there is absolutely NO WAY a capital murder charge holds up in this, unless there is something we don't know. I'm betting second degree tops.

See your above comment on "what a poorly written article." I'm sure there is much we don't know.

What a waste and a horror for everyone concerned.

That is so tragic for this officer's family.

I hope that this young man gets all the punishment that the law will allow. I am so tired of hearing of families and lives ruined b/c some kid decides to be stupid/selfish. I have no sympathy for this boy.

The fact that his family is wealthy and he had a lot of opportunities is one of the main reason I have NO sympathy for him. NONE. He knew right from wrong.

I hope they throw the book at him--HARD

I hate this kind of *&@#. I feel the kid is more of an idiot for wasting his opportunities, but a poor kid is no less culpable.

From the Miss. Code...obviously will have to be (b) or felony murder (c). I imagine they'll offer him something less, still.


(1) The killing of a human being without the authority of law by any means or in any manner shall be murder in the following cases:

(a) When done with deliberate design to effect the death of the person killed, or of any human being;

(b) When done in the commission of an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved heart, regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual;

(c) When done without any design to effect death by any person engaged in the commission of any felony other than rape, kidnapping, burglary, arson, robbery, sexual battery, unnatural intercourse with any child under the age of twelve (12), or nonconsensual unnatural intercourse with mankind, or felonious abuse and/or battery of a child in violation of subsection (2) of Section 97-5-39, or in any attempt to commit such felonies;

As a side note.....Ole Miss cancelled all of their parties, band parties, halloween parties, etc. for this weekend against Auburn.

Absolutely should have done this for sure.
