A man indicted in March 2013 for allegedly cyberstalking Jackson State University President Carolyn Myers has not yet gone to trial and has seen his case continued five times. WAPT reported in March 2013:
A Raymond man has been arrested and is accused of using social media to post threatening messages against Jackson State University President Carolyn Meyers, authorities said.The indictment states Mack posted on Instagram: "Dr. Myers will be dead by the end of the week. How tf you gone fire Mrs. Worthy?". It also states he posted on Facebook "Miss Myers, you got it comming BITCH".
Jhamerius Mack, 20, was arrested March 5 by JSU's Department of Public Safety and charged with cyberstalking/threats, the university said.
The arrest stemmed from tips received about the about threatening statements that were posted to Facebook, JSU said.
Mack is not a JSU student, the university said.
Several students on campus said they did not know Mack or anything about the allegations against him.
"I would hope that no one made a threat against Dr. Myers; she's such a nice lady. I don't see anything that she's ever done wrong," Freshman Kendra Lewis said.
No one answered when WAPT knocked at an address listed as Mack's home.
The FBI, the Hinds County district attorney and the Mississippi attorney general assisted with the investigation, JSU said.
The case has not gone to trial. Trial was first scheduled for December 19, 2013. Here are the continuances:
February 24, 2014: Parties agree due to needing more time to review discovery. Trial was continued from Feburary 18 to May 12.
May 30: Case postponed due to crowded docket. Case is continued until July 14.
July 2: Continued to September 8 due to "plea negotiations".
August 20: Continued to November 10 due to "plea negotiations".
September 29: Trial set for November 17.
December 2: Case continued until January 12 due to a proceeding trial resulting in a "crowded docket".
There is currently no scheduling order posted to the public file. Hinds County Circuit Judge Jeff Weill is handling the case.

Breaking News: Kingfish wants you to vote for Stan the Man!
We got that. And if he'd had any experience with Vikki Mumford, he would not be supporting her.
Judges Weill and Kidd do not allow the DA office to select cases for trial and dates for trials. They are told what cases will be tried. All others get continued.
I smell a rat, named incompetence.
This is news because kingfish couldn't find ways to tie other news, like the 4 escaped inmates, to Robert Smith.
Yawn
Hinds County ... A World of InDifference!
He's not supporting Vikki Mumford nimrod. He's selling ad space. Grow a brain.
No shots against the DA here. I'm providing an update on the case and that is it. The case was continued twice because of other cases that ran over and its normal in many cases for a criminal case to be continued a couple of time
This story was reported in the media two years ago. Dude threatening to kill a JSU president is somewhat newsworthy. Came across the case when I was looking up another case. That is what happens when you dig through the orders in those shiny red volumes. You come across other cases that strike your interest.
Judge needs to get this case to trial. However, it seems he had a problem with another case this week that probably should not have happened. The problem, that is.
This is getting tired. It's one thing to support a candidate, quite another to dig up a 2 1/2 year old cyber bullying case that will probably never get prosecuted because the serious crimes take precedence when the judge dockets cases. God forbid you dig up Stanley Alexander's non pros, no bills and not guilty verdicts. Unfortunately, it's the system we have. As an attorney who has prosecuted and defended, stories like this are meaningless.
Learn how to read. As in read the comment I just posted.

FALLACY ALERT.
It's a fallacy only if YOU are affected negatively by the remark. Otherwise, it's an example of establishing credibility in support of a claim.
I've heard enough of your fallacy bullshit over the years. Don't you ever get tired of riding that old lame-ass mule? As one who has many years of experience spotting old lame ass mules, I can tell you that yours is among the most lame. And don't come up in here justifying your actions by riding two lame ass mules at the same time as that would be a fallacy. Two lame mules do not equal one fit trotter.
Is that a string quartet @ 8:12 PM?
No; It's a funeral dirge for a lame ass mule. Someone get a backhoe!
I am a Judge serving on the Mississippi Court of Appeals.
Lame ass is believing any prick here can establish anonymous credibility.
Including a poster who claims to be a judge yet identifies self as Dork? The name alone blows any credibility you hoped to establish. Speaking of blows.........hit a knee, judge.
Think you missed it July 15, 2015 at 6:09 PM. Urah Dork = U R ah Dork.
