A Hinds County grand jury indicted three former Jackson police officers for second degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Keith Murriel.
Flanked by Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and the JPD brass, District Attorney Jody Owens announced the indictments at a press conference this afternoon.
The grand jury indicted Avery Willis and Kenya McCarty for second degree murder and James Land for manslaughter. This is not the first or second time McCarty has had a brush with The Law.

Good that the can't stand behind qualified immunity or some other BS.
So now is the time to speak up @ your Mayor who heads JPD ‘ we all know it MBar crimes & bar must be investigated.
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So basically JPD kept a known criminal with a badge on the force and a man died because of it?
JPD numbers will continue to drop. At some point the Capital Police will be the only viable law enforcement agency in Jackistan.
Count on it: This mayor will get tough on crime.... When his own police force is involved.
Jody and Antar continues to harass police while Robbers, Rapist, and Killer destroy Hinds County.
2 words, Jody Ownes SMART JUSTICE
Jody thanked the mayor for being transparent, while nothing has been done in the K. Sanders case by D.A. Ownes.
@6:29
You can’t taze someone 80 times in a row.
Which is why on the last city council meeting they voted to buy more Narcan
The city is at fault as well
No current documted training.. on handling mental or drug related situations

If you're talking about Keyshia Sanders she pled guilty back in January.

Total B.S., Does anybody know a good realtor in Rankin, or Madison county?
The JPD walk into unfriendly situations (like I did during the Viet Nam war), and we turn our backs on them. Bull Shit.
This is freaking wrong to be released before trial. To hell with Jackson who allows their Mayor a Free ride on water, sewage, crime with zero accountability. Why does he deserve 24 hr security at His gated community but yet others wait after crimes were committed on Brecon Hill Dr? Yes Chokweis full of his bloated ego and JODY too. When you have a BLUE OUT with no one to answer your calls call JODY and CHOKWE in their tax paid for cars!
Lying Lumumba answered the question as to whether this had to do with the timing of Chief Davis' retirement quite well; told his lie in a way that wouldn't have even recorded a blip on a pulse meter.
But at least he chose to wore a shirt and sober up for this news conference; guess the extra days following the big weekend at 4th Avenue had a chance to wear off.
Funny this all comes after Lumumba forced Davis out at Chief. Looks like the Chief was standing in the way of Lumumba getting the indictments he wanted on these offices.
Especially being the victim in this incident is related to Ward 4 Councilman Brian Grizzell and Vincent Grizzell who is with JPD and serves on the mayor’s personal detail squad. Lumumba has some "backs to scratch" and had a personal vendetta on these officers and made sure they got indicted.
How TF is he not in jail yet??????
Tazing someone 80 times is shocking I tell you, shocking.
Wait a minute, how many officers were on scene? A Tazer battery won’t last beyond a few good sustained pops, they do carry backup batteries but still for for 80 pops
Look at the videos on WLBT.com. Police officers of average size were attempting to cuff a large, strong dude who resisted arrest and was evidently under the influence of something.
So does he want to be known as Mayor Chief Lamumba or Chief Mayor Lamumba?
Everyone knows that "Interim Chief" is just a prop man.
So let me get this straight. Lawyer Mayor holds a press conference following an indictment - where individuals are constitutionally innocent until proven guilty - to throw these officers under the bus, basically admit liability, and expose the City to lawsuits.
However, when a high school girl hits an open manhole and dies, it's complete crickets from Mr. Transparency who apparently is able to volunteer information and admit fault.
The agenda here is clear.
"Where's Sharpton and Bennie?"
I am not typically pro-union, but JPD desperately needs a police union. These officers are getting trampled by this administration.
@8:35, I call BS on your serving in Vietnam. What was your unit, when, and where?
@8:29 AM - You go first.
Nothing like the mayor influencing potential jurors. A real lawyer would not do that. Right?
"I am not typically pro-union, but JPD desperately needs a police union. These officers are getting trampled by this administration."
SSPBA is out there for us if they want.

Haven’t watched the video
Did he really get tased 80 times? Much less more than say 10?
Any idea if they did a toxicology test in him to see if he way on spice or something crazy?
85th Evac Hosp. Quang Tri, Republic of Vietnam, 1970 US Army
Tell us how much meth or other drugs he had in his blood stream?
Tell us if he had any cardio problems?
Tell us why he didn't comply?
Tell us why the liberals are not held responsible for their rhetoric about being hostile & resisting the police.
Recall ChokeWay Lying Lumumba.
Why would anyone work for JPD? How many times has the city thrown then under the bus?
But according to Mayor Transparency, it's Capitol Police that has the problem with being too forceful.. right?
Where is Ben Crump?
"80 times" is absolute bull shit. This implies that he got hit with the probes 80 times. Tasers rapidly cycle with shocks, faster than you can count.
Shock-Way loves hammering the police.
Lil Choke says castrate the cops, arm the cockroaches, disarm their victims, let the black thugs be black and dangerous ever how they wanna be.
The Mayor of Jackson must be getting kickbacks from the lawyers who represent
The family of the deceased because he saying the Officers are guilty without giving them a trial.
I be glad when the Feds place a pair of PINK handcuffs on his lying tail.
