I'll admit I'm this petty---every once in a while I go back to the Forrest County inmate roster to look him up and be happy that he is in jail.

Side note--it's jaw dropping to me that the murder occurred July 2 and it wasn't brought in front of a grand jury until Feb 12 (per the indictment document). Are they that far behind there?

Trial date set for June 25, 2025. I can't find any other info than that due to the piecemeal way the courts down there do or don't publish dockets online.
