A Rankin County grand jury indicted Makaylia Jolley for capital murder for the death of her eight-week old baby, Khalysie Lashay Jolley on December 8. The indictment states:
on or about May 12, 2022, in the county aforesaid and within the jurisdiction of this Court, did willfully, unlawfully, and feloniously, without authority of law and with or without any design to effect death, kill and murder Khalysie Lashay Jolley, a human being, while the said MAKA YLIA SHAYLYNN JOLLEY was then and there engaged in the commission of the crime of Felony Child Abuse and or Battery, in violation Miss. Code Ann. § 97-5- 39(2), (1972, as amended), and in violation of Miss. Code Ann.§ 97-3-19(2)(f), (1972, as amended), and being against the peace and dignity of the State of Mississippi.
Several witnesses called Pearl police on the afternoon of May 12 to report a young woman "repeatedly and forcibly" threw her baby on the roadway at 775 North Biederman Road. Police found another woman holding the severely injured baby. The defendant had fled into some nearby woods but police apprehended her after a brief pursuit.
A subdued Pearl Police Chief Dean Scott said at a May 12 press conference "due to her injuries, there is a very bleak outcome. Her injuries are too severe to even attempt to treat." Little Khalysie's internal organs soon shut down and her suffering mercifully ended.
Jolley has not yet been arraigned. She is currently undergoing a mental evaluation. District Attorney Bubba Bramlett said he will seek the death penalty.

Plea is forthcoming.
No chance for "rehabilitation". No redeemable qualities or benefit to society. Textbook justification for the death penalty.
That is not “Textbook justification for the death penalty”, she’s white. Maybe a life sentence.
@10:06 - by that logic, you think the death penalty should be pursued against a drug user who can't get clean?
Oh really, 11:22. Why don't you go check and see which counties/DA's seek the death penalty. Don't think your assertion squares with the facts.
I'm always skeptical about not guilty by reason of insanity. But, repeatedly throwing your baby onto a hard surface, no matter how horrible of a person you are, seems unlikely to be something done by someone who is sane.
I usually don’t go for the eye for an eye thing but there is certainly a case for it here. Throw her repeatedly on the ground until she dies.
Bat Shit crazy
