Polo tried to be pretty in pink today as he smiled his way through his initial appearance in Clinton Municipal Court today. William Ervin Edwards may have found the proceedings amusing but his fate is anything but funny as Judge Will Purdie denied bond for the murder suspect. Clinton police charged Edwards with first-degree murder in the death of Robert Davis Sunday. Edwards fled the state but was caught in New Orleans yesterday.
Edwards made quite a name for himself as "The Cipher" on social media as he fired away with accusation after accusation against prominent Jacksonians for the last few years. Several of his targets watched their nemesis, shackled in pink, as he stood before Judge Purdie.
The hearing lasted all of two minutes. Edwards said he had an attorney but did not provide the identity of his counsel. Citing his multiple convictions, the murder charge, and his flight to New Orleans, the Court denied bond for the defendant.
Hinds County District 2 Supervisor David L. Archie held court outside the courthouse as he spoke to confederates and the media. Shades of the staredown in the Rumble in the Jungle came to mind as Archie and Edwards faced stood only a few feet away from each other as the murder suspect walked through the courtroom.
Archie filed charges against Edwards two years ago. WJTV reported on July 29, 2020:
On Wednesday morning host of the Cipher Show, Napoleon Edwards appeared before a judge after being charged with one felony of cyberstalking and several misdemeanors revolving around threats to elected officials.
“When he made the threat this past Saturday stating that he would execute me along with others that’s when he went a bit too far,” Supervisor Archie said.
Going through Edwards feed we found the clip he brings up taking guns and lining up Archie and others.
“Come Monday night I’m going to shoot that .50 caliber out. I got something bigger than that, I’m going to shoot that .50 caliber out at all three of them,” Edwards stated. “I’m going to line those sons of guns up and execute all three of them with information.”
Later in the video, Edwards went on to say he’s referring to news that viewers can use. Article.
Archie said "I think this community is relieved to have him off the street." "He threatened a City Councilman, he threatened a Supervisor, now he's taken a life," continued the Supervisor. Archie said he hoped Edwards would spend the rest of his life in prison.

Not Stephen Boone, Moron. Typical investigative excellence from this trash rag.
I never paid attention or was never privy to the circle between David Archie, Cipher, Clay Edwards. Hinds Co. Supervisor stuff has always been boring. Like Pepsi to my Coke.
The city website said Boone. I went by the city website. .Turns out this is Purdie's first week on the bench. Now get lost, trash.
Looks like David Archie has recovered from the whuppin' he received from Kenny Wayne.
Once again, it would not shock me if he pleads to manslaughter and only serves 7 to 10. State Legislators have put in place that non violent do 25% and violent only serve 50%.
When Polo stares down David Archie, it was at that moment Archie realized it could have been him.
How does an inmate get to wear a pink inmate jumpsuit? I thought orange was the mandatory color! Please clarify.
So he sent a text to the victim before shooting him? what's the inside scoop? Was he messing with Shadow?
Due to the nature of the murder, shot 7-10 times after entering the dwelling without permission, and fleeing the state to avoid capture and prosecution, you may not see a plea. That would allow the DA to seek at least Life without.
Maybe this is petty but how is David L allowed to be so close to this perp in the courtroom ? I know David L isn't law enforcement and most certainly isn't a judge....has no real reason to be there at all.
@10:48 AM - but David does have a badge.
@9:49 I was wondering the same thing, when he took his booking photo he was in a orange jumpsuit. Thought maybe the change in colors meant possibly housed differently from other inmates but was curious as to the color change.
Clinton makes them wear pink.
11:23 : A badge of what ?
@11:23 he has a badge because he is a city official. but he's definitely not law enforcement. And he doesn't mind flashing it to receive benefits as if he is law enforcement.He goes to businesses and expects not to pay for services
Saw the badge yesterday, Says Supervisor on it.
If Polo walks or on gets a few years then....
It doesn’t matter if it was about a woman or not this man killed a good humbled guy some of you people just plain out stupid!!!!!! And may Polo soul rest in Hell all the days of his natural life
