Jimmie Jay Lee family sues Herrington, alleged conspirators over Ole Miss student's death

"The family of slain University of Mississippi student Jimmie "Jay" Lee filed a wrongful death lawsuit in July against Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr. and five alleged co-conspirators, accusing them of reckless actions that led to Lee's disappearance and confirmed death."

I do remember discussing the possible involvement of family members in helping him. There were signs. It will be interesting to see if they can prove it.

Interesting. I'm not sure I see an advantage for the defense with this, except for the delay.

Remember the Timothy Herrington trial that ended in a deadlocked jury? Since that trial, the victim's body has been found. They were set to retry Herrington, but he took a plea today just before jury selection began. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Jimmie "Jay" Lee.

I came here to say the same thing.

I wonder what they presented to him to let him know they had him.

I am wondering this as well. Took him long enough.

Would have thought first degree would be appropriate ??
Not to mention some level of premeditation as well ?
Imo.

Rest in peace, Jimmie Jay Lee !

WATCH: Timothy Herrington was sentenced today in the murder of Jimmie "Jay" Lee. In his trial the jury deadlocked, Lee's body had not been found. After that trial, the body was found. They were set to select a new jury yesterday when Herrington opted to plead guilty to 2nd degree murder.

‘I knew in my heart,’ mother of Jay Lee said when she called police in 2022

The parents of Jimmie “Jay” Lee said if technology companies had released information early on to investigators, they might not have had to wait more than two years to bury their son.

The parents of Jimmie "Jay" Lee said if technology companies had released information early on to investigators, they might not have had to wait more than two years to bury their son.

*****
Lee's father, Jimmie Lee, believes the investigation took longer than it might have because law enforcement had to ask technology companies for access to his son's digital data.

"Sometimes when they need answers, they have to reach out to different companies to find answers, such as communications companies — Apple, or social media companies — to try to get answers. Oftentimes, they’re so harsh with trying to protect their privacy, and sometimes that makes it a little hard," Jimmie Lee said.

The family has spoken with law enforcement and hopes to push a bipartisan bill forward that would allow access to data that would help find young people who are missing. The bill would make it illegal for a phone company, social media or communications company to refuse to release usernames and passwords to law enforcement, parents or guardians of someone under the age of 21 who is missing.
