Hinds County Circuit Judge Faye Peterson gave Jordan Cummins a $500,000 bond yesterday. A Hinds County grand jury indicted Jordan Cummins for two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of Josh Spann and Auden "Jubilee" Simpkins on March 25, 2023. The homicides took place just a few blocks away from the St. Paddy's Day Parade.
Hinds County Court Judge Johnny McDaniels denied Cummins bond when he was arrested. Judge Peterson denied Cummins bond as well at his arraignment. Cummins' lawyer, Hinds County Public Defender Carrie Jordan filed a motion for bond last month. Judge Peterson assented to the request and granted a $250,000 bond for each charge. Cummins is still incarcerated.

Hope this POS enjoys prison, sure hope he rots there a long time
Bond- James Bond.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
This is another reason House Bill 1020 is a must. Faye Peterson is a disgrace.
Will the bail bonds folks take single wides and double wides for collateral?
Not understanding why bond was granted.
Hey 3:07... you are wrong about Faye-She is one of the best serving on the bench in Hinds.
Hey 3:44. Tell that to the victims’ families. I totally disagree.
KF is there a reason why Peterson flipped? This story seems incomplete? Is he low fight risk?
White guy commits murder in Hinds County, GOOD LUCK on bonding out.
250,000 times two so 500,000 if I read that correctly
3:44, Love it when family members get on here. He very well may have a case but a quarter mill for two deaths is a joke.
@4:03 p.m. clearly does not understand pre-trial bail. The United States and the Mississippi Constitutions say that bail is to guarantee the appearance of a criminal defendant, and it is not to be punitive. Cummings has not been convicted, so the feelings of the families of the victims is irrelevant at this juncture. Cummings is a danger to others, however, so I believe that Judge Peterson's decision is wrong.
@3:07...Peterson is actually the only decent Circuit Judge in Hinds Co. She saw through the BS with the Lampley, Barney, and Fox trial. Unfortunately, Fox ended up on his own in Wooten's courtroom. Don't get me started on the latter...
Nothing like being convicted before trial.
Wait, let me fix that: Nothing like being convicted by a bunch of clowns on the sidelines before trial.
He got bond!!! No wonder the streets are full of criminals!
The entire Hinds County judiciary is now a complete and total joke. Incompetence doesn't do it justice.
Fay was a bad lawyer and is a worse Judge. People who murder should not be out of jail on bond.
I think they released him for street justice to take care of it.
If his family can't afford an attorney for him, they won't be able to put up $50k to get him out either.
I happen to have enough money to bail him out. What are the odds I will not get my money back? And how much can I make? I think. I went to Jackson State with this dude.
And, 6:15, pianos should not fall out of tenth story windows and hit people on the head. And birds should not shit on car windshields. So, you're re-writing state and federal law now, based on you think 'should be'?
6:15..Murder?? sounds like self defense to me!
6:15 PM, people who murder should also not be put on house arrest to set out their time but Jackson has done that before.
Look, Judge Peterson is the best judge in Hinds county, period. It’s not unreasonable for there to be no bond and it’s not unreasonable for a $500k bond. Personally, I’m starting to believe those charged with murder shouldn’t receive a bond unless the facts warrant them. BUT, the reality is that he won’t receive a trial in YEARS because of the backlog and incompetency of JPD, the DA’s office, and the state crime lab. Given those facts, It’s only fair that he be given a bond.
This is coming from a defense Atty who previously practiced in front of Judge Peterson. I may have disagreed with her decision, sometimes I even thought she was too light, but her decisions were always reasoned and logical based on the facts/evidence presented in front of her. The majority of ADAs in that office are incompetent. All of them are extremely overworked. She can’t make chicken salad out of chicken crap.
The other judges, nope. King/Queen on a throne.
I see a double standard here if your white and commit a double murder you get a bond na did your black like that kid who killed the snakeman you get no bond for almost 6 years
Peterson was as bad as a DA as she is a judge. At minimum one count of manslaughter should be a lock, although an argument for murder could be made.
If the other deceased party did in fact brandish a firearm there could be an argument for self defense. If the defendant was in deed observed assaulting his girlfriend that taints the claim of self defense.
The fact that he recklessly fired at and struck an innocent bystander shows that he should not be among society.
the rubes on this thread think that when a 500,000 bond is set by a judge,the defendant immediately posts it.
not quite
that would cost about $56 thousand.
how many goof ball rankin rednecks are carrying that around with them?
And more than a couple of blacks charged with murder have gotten $50,000 bonds. See Funches. Kidd used to pass out $100,000 bonds to murder suspects all the time. So did green. Look at that Hopkins case I wrote about on March 25.
We've got this wad of cash. Do we buy more Oxy or bail-out Jordy? What should we do, mama?
Definitely buy more oxy
Figures. Anyone who employs a crook as her court administrator can’t surprise me with bad rulings
