Court of Appeals reverses Bolivar County Murder Conviction!

On March 5, 2024, the Mississippi Court of Appeals reversed a May 2022 first degree murder conviction of CLF client Jacqueze Marshall in Bolivar County. In a 14 page opinion with concurrences from all judges, the COA found that the trial court erred in forcing defense counsel to place certain individuals back on the jury that defense counsel challenged and stated race neutral reasons for doing so.
The new trial date will be set at a later date.
