Authorities await autopsy in CPD shooting death26-year-old Columbus man shot by police Friday nightBY ANDREW [email protected]

The autopsy of a 26-year-old man shot and killed by a

Columbus Police Officer on Friday night is expected to be conducted today in Jackson, Lowndes County Coroner Greg Merchant said this morning.

Warren Strain, a spokesper-son with the Mississippi Bu-reau of Investigation, said the process could take longer than that to determine the circum-

stances surrounding the death of Ricky Javenta Ball due to what he called a backlog at the state Crime Lab.

“It may be tomorrow before they get to the autopsy,” Strain said. “There are several cas-

es that were brought in before this.”

Strain said the incident that led to Ball’s death began around 10 p.m. with a traffic stop near the intersection of

Making headlines no guarantee of election success BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUSThe Associated Press

JACKSON — Two state senators with proposals that grabbed headlines and divided their colleagues are not return-ing to the Mississippi Capitol next term.

Sens. Nancy Adams Collins of Tupelo and Phillip Gandy of Waynesboro were both defeat-ed in the Republican primary

in August. Their defeat raises questions about whether it’s a successful long-term strategy to appeal to the most conser-vative elements of the GOP, even in Republican-dominated Mississippi. Trying to appeal to the most liberal elements of the Democratic Party has long been a no-win strategy for most candidates in the state.

In 2014, Gandy sponsored Senate Bill 2681, known as the

Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It said state and local governments cannot

put a substantial burden on re-ligious practices.

The bill was sharply criti-cized by the representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union and a gay-rights group, Human Rights Campaign, who said it could lead to anti-gay dis-crimination by businesses.

Gandy, a Baptist minister, said his bill mirrored a feder-al law signed by President Bill Clinton more than 20 years ago

— one that the craft-store chain Hobby Lobby used to support its arguments against providing contraception coverage under a federal health overhaul signed by President Barack Obama.

Republican Gov. Phil Bry-ant signed the bill in a private ceremony attended by a few elected officials, lobbyists for the state’s influential Southern Baptist Convention and Tony

Campus community encouraged to walk to lunch Wed.Passport to Wellness event is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.SPECIAL TO THE DISPATCH

Instead of driving to lunch, Missis-sippi University for Women faculty, staff and students are encouraged to walk to lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday.

W Walks to Lunch is being sponsored by Passport to Wellness (P2W), a com-munity-wide health initiative targeting lifestyle choices related to diet, physical activity and stress management. The first W Walks to Lunch event was held in October 2014.

All participants will meet at front campus at the gate to check in with P2W ambassadors in order to register for priz-es. Each person will sign in and get a W Walks to Lunch sticker, indicating partic-ipation in the event.

“This activity will allow faculty, staff and students to switch gears and focus on health and wellness of our communi-ty,” said Santee Ezell, Passport to Well-ness project director. “Living a healthier lifestyle is an on-going process that one can benefit from it in the long run.”

The general idea is to keep people moving throughout the day, and walking downtown is a great opportunity since people go that direction to have lunch, Ezell added.

Individuals can also look forward to downtown Columbus restaurants pro-viding discounts and gift cards. The participating restaurants and merchants discounts are listed as follows:

■ Coffee on 5th Street-15 percent■ Harvey’s-$5 gift card■ Huck’s-10 percent■ Old 82-10 percent■ Zachary’s-15 percent■ Rae’s-25 percent off any merchan-

‘Star Wars’ trailer to play during ‘Monday Night Football’

Eddie Murphy receives top US humor prize

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — More than just football fans will likely be tuning in to watch halftime on “Monday Night Football” this week.

A new trailer for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will debut during halftime of the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles game, Lucasfilm announced Sun-day. Tickets will also go on sale for the film, opening Dec. 18, after the trailer plays.

The game will be broad-

cast on ESPN, which, like Lucasfilm is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

“The Force Awakens,” the seventh film in the fran-chise, is one of the most anticipated of the year. Even its trailer launches have become events in and of themselves. The second teaser trailer, which de-buted in April, has over 64 million views on YouTube to date.

BY STACY A. ANDERSONThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A star-studded lineup of come-dians including Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, George Lopez, Kathy Griffin and Arsenio Hall honored Eddie Murphy as an “American icon.”

The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts pre-sented the comedian Sun-day with the Mark Twain Prize, the nation’s top prize for humor.

The evening’s most emotional tribute came

from “Saturday Night Live” alum Tracy Morgan, who received a standing ovation from the audience. He called Murphy his “comedic hero.”

Morgan survived a seri-ous car crash last year that left him in a coma. Morgan said Murphy was the first person to call him on the phone and make him laugh after the tragic accident that killed a passenger in the limo and seriously injured two others.

“He’s the reason I’m in comedy. He’s the reason I have a job. He’s the reason I have a career,” Morgan said.

AROUND THE WORLD

BY DAN PERRYThe Associated Press

The clashes between Israelis and Palestinians in the Holy Land are not just physical; the two sides cannot agree on what they see, how they got here, who is to blame or where they should go.

To many Israelis, the wave of knifings betrays a hatred of Jews by a Palestinian populace that is easily incited to violence by fanat-ics dreaming up conspiracy theo-ries about Zionist plots to take over their sacred Jerusalem mosque.

To Palestinians, the violent rage of lone-wolf attackers is an inevi-table consequence, a last resort, and just desserts given almost a half-century of Israeli occupation in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, after peace talks collapsed last year and Israelis then re-elected a prime minister who seems wedded to the status quo.

Where Israelis see attackers killed in self-defense against what headlines call the “wave of terror-ism,” Palestinians tend to see mar-tyrs sacrificing themselves to fight the unacceptable predicament of their oppressed and humiliated people.

The clashing narratives share a deep-rooted sense of vulnerability.

Israelis are deeply affected by the memory of the Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews during World War II. The country that emerged from that disaster is surrounded by po-tential enemies. They look at the map, feel small, and grow peeved at the fuss made about their relatively modest conquest of a few thousand square kilometers, one of many in history.

The Palestinians call Israel’s 1948 “War of Independence” the “naqba,” meaning catastrophe. Some 600,000 of their number left what became the Jewish state, with some expelled and others fleeing. The refugees’ descendants now number in the millions. They are a people who have often felt unwel-come by fellow Arabs, in some cas-es confined to shantytown “camps,” as in Syria, and denied basic rights,

as in Lebanon.Palestinians tend to ignore that

the Arab side rejected the 1947 United Nations partition plan for mandatory Palestine — which the Jews accepted.

Sporadic peace talks over the past two decades have failed to progress beyond the autonomy ar-rangements of the 1990s. The tan-gle is too tight and the sides cannot agree on the terms of divorce — or even on what happened in the talks.

The world community mostly considers Israel to be in violation of accepted norms by changing the status quo in occupied terri-tories through these settlements, and the disproportionate death toll among Palestinians in bouts of vi-olence also draws fire. But despite the global hectoring, Israel has not been truly punished: it has a mighty alliance with the U.S., fa-vored trading status with Europe, growing relations with Asia and a per capita gross domestic product to rival Britain’s.

In this situation, many Israelis prefer to ignore the Palestinians, most of whom are beyond fences in areas Israelis rarely visit.

Many believe the Arab world is not ready for democracy — the failures of the Arab Spring hardly

negate such a thesis — and the Palestinians should be happy with their lot compared with the brutal dictatorships and murderous chaos that have typified other corners of the Middle East, past and present.

Israelis also feel that the Pales-tinians are being incited — whether by Gaza preachers shouting at the masses to “stab, stab, stab,” or by politicians claiming, with meager basis if any, that the desires of Is-raeli fanatics to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem or alter the status quo there are secretly the official Israeli policy as well. Pales-tinians tend to dismiss these things as secondary to a justifiable anger that is consuming their hopeless youth, who undeniably have also gotten worked up through inflam-matory videos making their way around Facebook.

On both sides there is a minority that watches the violence in despair — arguably more so in Israel, with its more individualistic society and culture of debate and introspection. To these more liberal Israelis, the apparently perpetual occupation of the Palestinians is a moral stain that also, by tying Israel inexorably to a Palestinian population equal to its 6 million Jews, contains the seeds of self-inflicted ruination.

IN WASHINGTON

BY LAURIE KELLMANThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A U.S. ambassa-dor in a dangerous country asks the State Department for more security. Wash-ington sends the am-bassador a request for advice on talking points. Maybe, the ambassador jokes, he should seek help from another country.

But the escalating situation on the ground in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012 was no joke, and on Sept. 11, the ambassador, Chris Stevens, was dead along with three other Amer-

icans. Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chair-man of a panel investigating the ter-rorist attacks there, is describing Stevens’ pleas, and Washington’s response, as a “total disconnect” that left the U.S. consulate vulner-able to attack.

“He didn’t need help with (pub-lic relations), and he was asking for more security,” Gowdy said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” At about the same time, Gowdy said, a Clin-ton aide asked Stevens to read and respond to an email by a confidant of then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

At one point, according to Gowdy, Stevens joked in an email: “Maybe we should ask another government to pay for our security

upgrades because our government isn’t willing to do it.”

Gowdy refused to release the emails on Sunday.

But he described the emails as he defended his 17-month probe into the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that left Stevens and three other Ameri-cans dead, and anticipates Clinton’s long-awaited public testimony on Thursday. The event is a make-or-break moment for the investigation that even some Republicans say was designed to undermine Clin-ton’s second bid for president.

“I have told my own Republican colleagues and friends, ‘Shut up talking about things that you don’t know anything about,’ “ Gowdy said Sunday on CBS.

Tupelo social worker charged with kidnapping THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TUPELO — A Tupelo woman is facing multiple felony charges after police say she kidnapped two children from the Gulf Coast.

Multiple media outlets report that 29-year-old Georgia Sasso, a social worker for the Mississippi State Department of Health, was arrested Wednes-day and charged with two counts of kidnapping and two counts of sexual battery. Police say Sasso drove to south Mississippi the weekend before her arrest, picked up two juveniles and brought them back to Tupelo.

Tupelo Police Detective Lynette Sandlin says the juveniles were listed as runaways on the Gulf Coast, so police did a welfare check. Investigators said there had been sexual misconduct between her and the juveniles.

Sandlin says Sasso wasn’t related to the victims, but knew one of them through her job. It’s unclear whether Sasso has an attorney.

Some sickle cell patients back in ER as clinic closes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSON — Some patients with sickle cell dis-ease say they’re back to having long waits in emer-gency rooms since the University of Mississippi Medical Center temporarily closed a clinic that was designed to help them.

The clinic closed in August, which was 14 months after it opened. UMMC administrators say they’re looking for a new location and are in the process of hiring a nurse for the clinic, which they hope to re-open by year’s end.

The medical center says the original site was nev-er meant to be permanent.

Josh Foxi, a Jackson-area musician and medical student who has sickle cell disease, told The Clar-ion-Ledger that patients are back in emergency rooms since the clinic’s closure.

An estimated 2,000 to 2,500 Mississippians have sickle cell disease, which can cause painful blood-flow problems.

Perkins, president of Family Research Coun-cil. It became law July 1, 2014.

This year, Collins sponsored Senate Bill 2807, known as the Iran Divestment Act. It would have prohibited state and local govern-ments from doing busi-ness with any f irm that sells at least $20 million of goods or services to Iran’s oil and gas sec-tor. Collins said she in-troduced the bill at the request of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ne-tanyahu after she and Bryant visited Israel.

While several other states have enacted sim-ilar bans, some Missis-

sippi lawmakers raised concerns that Collins’ original proposal could hurt the state’s work-ing relationship with Toyota Motor Corp. or its subsidiaries. Critics also questioned wheth-er debating foreign pol-icy was a good use of time by state legislators whose primary respon-sibilities are for budget and policy questions in the land mass bordered by Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico.

“This is another ex-ample of out-of-state in-terest group legislation that has not been fully thought out, and after scrutiny, turns out to be

bad for Mississippi,” Sen. David Blount, D-Jack-son, said in February.

Collins’ bill died in the Senate, but similar measure, House Bill 1127 , made it through both chambers and was signed by Bryant. It be-came law July 1.

Collins was elected to the Senate from Lee and Pontotoc counties in Jan-uary 2011 to fill a vacancy after fellow Republican Alan Nunnelee of Tupe-lo moved up to the U.S. House. For the four-year term that started in Janu-ary 2012, Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves named Collins chairwoman of the Senate Accountabili-ty, Efficiency and Trans-

parency Committee.After Nunnelee died

of cancer early this year, Collins ran unsuccess-fully in a special election to fill his congressional seat. Then, in the Aug. 4 Republican primary, she lost the state Senate seat to Chad McMahan, an alderman in Guntown. He is unopposed in the Nov. 3 general election and will start a four-year term in January.

Gandy was elected in November 2011 in a dis-trict in George, Greene, Stone and Wayne coun-ties. Reeves appointed the freshman senator as chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee.

ShooingContinued from Page 1A

21st Street North and 14th Avenue North in Columbus. CPD attempt-ed to pull over the car — which Merchant said was a Mercury Grand Marquis — for a routine traffic stop. Strain said a female driver did not stop immediately. Strain said the female driver, who he declined to identify, was the only other passenger.

“The driver didn’t stop,” Strain said. “From what I understand, Mr. Ball jumped from the car and ran. They proceed-ed on foot. And that’s what we’re trying to sort out now, what happened from the time he left the vehicle to the time he was fatally wounded.”

Merchant said Ball was shot at approximate-ly 10:08 p.m. Friday. He was pronounced dead at Baptist Memorial Hos-pital-Golden Triangle at 11:12 p.m. Friday.

Strain said details on the number of shots fired and times Ball was struck will not be revealed until the autopsy is complete.

Strain said MBI was

called to the scene by CPD and that their in-vestigators were on the scene quickly. MBI is overseeing the investi-gation, as it often does in Mississippi law enforce-ment shootings.

“The crime scene unit responded and pro-cessed the scene, so they will submit whatever it is they found to the crime lab for processing,” Strain said. “That’ll take some time.”

Authorities have not said if Ball was armed or attacked officers.

Columbus Chief of Police Tony Carleton did not respond to multiple messages this morning.

Councilman voices concerns

Ward 4 Councilman Marty Turner took to Facebook on Sunday morning to voice frustra-tions about Ball’s death and lash out at fellow elected officials Kabir Karriem, a Columbus councilman, and Le-roy Brooks, a Lowndes

County supervisor.In a series of 14 in-

c r e a s i n g l y - a g i t a t e d posts on his Facebook page, Turner openly crit-icized Columbus Police Chief Tony Carleton’s silence on the shooting and twice called for his firing. Turner also ques-tioned why Karriem, who represents Ward 5 on the council, and Brooks were not com-menting publicly about the incident.

Turner told The Dis-patch Monday morning that he criticized Brooks and Karriem in his posts — some of which were laced with profanity — to call them to do some-thing about the situation.

“All I try to do is be nice and cordial and pro-fessional,” Turner said. “It doesn’t seem like that’s working. I have to say something to get them from sitting on their hands.”

Brooks called Turn-er’s comments “irre-sponsible” Monday morning. Ball’s shooting happened within his dis-

trict but he said it ’s too early to make statements about the case until more facts are known.

“This is not a politi-cal issue,” Brooks said. “This is an issue where there’s a procedure, and the procedure is, I un-derstand that it ’s been passed on to the Missis-sippi Bureau of Inves-tigation and everyone needs to sit still until they complete their in-vestigation.

“There’s a number of rumors f loating around and no one knows (what happened),” Brooks con-tinued. “It ’s not some-thing I’m going to ad-dress because I don’t have anything to ad-dress. I don’t know what happened, but for me to go out and inflame the situation — that would be irresponsible.”

The Dispatch could not reach Karriem by press time Monday.

MISSISSIPPI VOICES

Rich people are the Smaugs of America, aren’t they?

OXFORD — Please find a rich person — which isn’t easy in Mississippi — and offer him or her a hug today.

The “one-percen-ters” among us need a little love. They’re taking a beating from Democratic contend-ers for the presiden-cy. Bernie Sanders puts billionaires and even multimillion-aires right up there with Satan. Hillary Clinton (a one-percenter, herself) sings the chorus. Rich people have ruined America and must be made to pay their fair share! That was the major theme of their first debate.

Rich people were equated to Smaug, the awe-some dragon in “The Hobbit.” The gnarly beast roosts on mounds of gold and jewels, breathing fire and death in the direction of anyone who would dare ask for a single coin.

But with apologies to the leading Democrats, that’s just not real — not in America and not in Mississippi.

The generosity of the rich and even not-so-rich is why we have first-class medical care for infants and children in Jackson. It’s why our col-lege campuses have science buildings, perfor-mance centers and, yes, athletic facilities. Rich Mississippians have also written fat checks for parks and recreation facilities statewide, for museums and for nature preserves.

Satan wouldn’t do that.Nationally, there are super-philanthropists.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, have given away $27 billion. That’s enough to operate the entire state of Mississip-pi for almost three years.

Right behind him is Warren Buffet of Ne-braska. He’s given away $21 billion and, with Gates, formed Giving Pledge to encourage others among the super-rich to be super-char-itable. Young people are giving, too. Ronald Reagan was leaving office as Mark Zuckerberg entered kindergarten. Yet the founder of Face-book has already given away $1.6 billion.

OK, well, we’ve heard about those guys.But ever hear of Charles Francis Feeney? His

name is not on any buildings, but the guy who once owned the Duty Free shops in the world’s airports has given away $7.5 billion, keeping only about $1 million to support himself. Forbes magazine described Feeney as a guy “working double time to die broke.” He gave $350 million to Cornell, which he attended on the GI Bill.

Not every wealthy person is generous, of course. There are Smaugs out there, but even they have a tremendous effect on the lives of others when they build, shop, travel, invest and even when they relax.

When today’s Thurston Howell III pulls his yacht into port and tops off the tanks with $80,000 worth of diesel, that supports a lot of jobs. When the jet-setters buy all the luxu-ry-class seats on an international flight, that keeps the airlines flying and tens of thousands of employees working.

The super-rich do live in a different world. On a recent single day when Wall Street belched, USA Today reported that the heirs of the Walmart fortune lost $11 billion. Most of the rest of us would spend hours digging around the house if we misplaced a $20 bill.

But rich people are essential to the rest of the world. Whether they exert too much power or have too much influence is another discus-sion, but the raw fact is they produce the juice that keeps the economy going — whether in the past with under names as Vanderbilt, Roosevelt or Carnegie — or the names of those today “afflicted” with great wealth.

Now Clinton was certainly spot-on when she said during the debate that a proper function of a democratic government is to keep capital-ism from destroying capitalism. And Sanders was absolutely correct to point out that overall economic vibrancy is impossible — impos-sible — without a vibrant middle class. But neither really had a short answer on reversing the decades-long trend in America toward lots of super-poor, a smattering of super-rich and everyone else living paycheck to paycheck.

Their solution sounded terse and Robin Hood-ish: Take from the rich and give to the poor, but that’s certainly not sustainable. What happens when we run out of rich?

Let’s keep our wits about us. The rich will continue to be targeted and described as a source of bad things. And if we take all the anti-rich rhetoric seriously, we’ll be tempted to slash the tires of every Ferrari we see. That would be counterproductive, to say the least. Instead, let’s be at least a little happy we live in a place where there are rich people and the potential remains, for now, for more people to become rich.

Rich people are not so bad. Give one a hug.Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

READERS COMMENT

Supports Allgood for D.A.My fellow citizens of the Golden

Triangle, I am writing to you all to inform you of what we need in a District Attorney.

We need a man that is willing to put it all on the line to keep the peo-ple of our communities safe. Forrest Allgood is the man that we need for this job. It is not his job to go out and ruin a defendant’s life. And it is not true that his office puts “too many first-time drug offenders away.”

Mr. Allgood believes in rehabil-itation, but rehabilitation is some-thing that the defendant is respon-sible for. If the defendant wants to turn their life around, then they will make the right decision. Mr. All-

good’s job is to get to the bottom of the crime and use the evidence he is given in a trial. Many people do not know how the justice system works … (the D.A.’s) job is to prosecute the crimes on which an indictment is placed.

When the grand jury makes the decision, that is when D.A. Allgood’s job begins. He has tried nearly 400 cases during his time in office and we hope and pray that he continues to do the job he loves because he loves this community and wants it to remain as safe as possible.

Is he a perfect man? No he is not, and no one in this world is. People make mistakes. But I can say with my whole heart that Forrest Allgood is the man we need as our district

attorney. I want to continue to be safe and feel safe as a result of Mr. Allgood and his staff doing the job that they love. If you were the victim of a crime, I promise you would want no one other than Forrest Allgood helping you through the process.

He cares about you and your loved ones. You need to know that. Don’t you want the children in our communities to grow up healthy and strong? Mr. Allgood works tirelessly to keep them safe. Fellow citizens, let’s make the right decision and re-elect the man that loves his job and this community. I am casting my vote for Forrest Allgood. I encour-age you all to do the same.

Heath FisackerlyColumbus

FROM OUR WEBSITEThe following is an edited se-

lection of reader comments posted at the end of stories and columns published on-line. More can be found at www.cdispatch.com. Dollars, tensions rise in D.A. race

Blewett Thomas: After reading Forrest Allgood’s various comments about the value of his experience in criminal law, it appears that he ignores the fact that a prosecutor’s experience means nothing if you continue to commit serious errors at trial.

Not only has he convicted people who were ultimately determined to be innocent based upon objective evidence, his errors in judgment have required too many cases to be remanded by the appellate courts for a second and even a third trial.

Although criminal law can be complicated, it’s not difficult to con-vict a guilty person at trial. In fact, acquittals are rare.

When a prosecutor with 25 years experience continuously has convictions overturned on appeal, it usually means one of two things: the prosecutor either lacks sound judg-ment and allows himself to become overly zealous, or he is incompetent.

To borrow Mr. Allgood’s analogy about the importance of hiring an experienced mechanic, if you take your car to an experienced mechan-ic and he continuously fails to fix your car, you find a new mechanic.

Mr. Allgood also appears to be contradictory on the need for expe-rience in his administration of drug courts. In most Mississippi coun-ties, the district attorney’s office makes recommendations on which defendants who are referred to drug court. This is logical because a prosecutor can objectively review a defendant’s history and make a reasoned determination on whether to place that defendant in a drug court. As Mr. Allgood might say, experience counts.

However, in Lowndes County,

experience is apparently not import-ant concerning drug court, because a panel (with apparently no legal experience) determines who will be recommended to drug court.

This may explain why the suc-cess rate of Lowndes County drug court participants appears to be less than 50 percent. If this success rate is accurate, the local drug courts are not functioning at the level of drug courts in the rest of the state. Drug courts are basically mean-ingless if the participants do not succeed and change the course of their lives.

Lindsay Kirkley Clemons: “Mr. Allgood also appears ... administra-tion of his drug courts.”

The D.A.’s office does not run the drug court. It is a “court sponsored program” run by the court. It is also not separated by county. Our drug court program covers the entire 16th District.

“... a panel (with apparently no legal experience) ...”

Literally, every single member of the drug court panel is involved in the criminal legal field. It includes defense attorneys, probation/parole officers, law enforcement officers and its head is the senior circuit court judge.

Again, the most involvement we have, as prosecutors, is to say to a defendant’s attorney, “Have you had your client assessed for drug court.” A sentence I uttered three times last week alone.

matt2021: I would like The Dispatch to mention the Gibbs case in one of these articles. Allgood just wants convictions no matter if it is the right call.

ken: Anyone who can knowingly run on money donated my George Soros, in my opinion, cannot be trusted to do the right thing. George Soros is evil, and when you dance with the devil, you will pay the

price.

Elias: What a selection! A D.A. with a questionable record of con-victions and a 32-year-old inexperi-enced rookie supported by external and suspicious funds. I’ll vote for the predictable, questionable record!

Andrea Smith: Mr. Allgood, your reply to Tyler’s letter sounds an awful lot like Ms. Clemons’ reply to his. I do not know how many times I have read you or one of your assis-tants bring up the fact that you did not try the case.

While you mention that you are still friends with both of those prosecutors, it’s quite obvious you are trying to throw them under the bus by REPEATEDLY, stating that THEY tried the case, not you.

And why do that? Could it be be-cause since his conviction, release and retrial that more and more peo-ple in the community believe in Mr. Edmonds’ innocence? A community you need on your side, even if that means making them believe you had nothing to do with his prosecution.

And, Mr. Allgood, by now ev-eryone knows that Tyler Edmonds confessed to his mother on a tape. It is a rather desperate grasp at straws to even write this letter. If Tyler Edmonds was a guilty, cold-blooded killer, you would not have to keep defending yourself in such menial ways.

You are a veteran district attor-ney, correct? Surely you have more important issues to tend to rather than defend yourself against the word of a cold-blooded murderer.

I would also like to say that if the public even were to scrap the case of Tyler Edmonds altogether, your record is still incredibly deceitful, negligent and humiliating to the community you are paid (with taxpayers money) to represent. Perhaps you should focus more on defending yourself and your actions in regards to those cases also.

NEW YORK — Say this for Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets: They have their October formula down and are sticking with it.

Murphy homered off yet another ace to provide an early cushion for Noah Syndergaard, and the Mets breezed past Jake Arrieta the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Sunday night for a 2-0 lead in a surprisingly one- sided NL Championship Series.

Power, pitching, plus some dazzling defense — just like the Amazin’ Mets of 1969.

“We’ve beaten some of the best the game has to offer,” Mets cap-tain David Wright said.

Baseball’s most dominant pitch-er since the All-Star break, Arrie-ta had not even settled in when Murphy homered for the fourth straight game, a two-run drive just inside the right-field pole in a three-run first inning.

“We’re having a whole bunch of fun right now,” said Murphy, who homered in the first inning for the second straight game and seems to have a reserved star-of-the-game seat in the interview room.

Given the quick lead on a chilly night, Synder-gaard kept the bats of Chicago’s young sluggers on ice with shutout ball into the sixth.

Curtis Granderson robbed Chris Coghlan of a likely home run with a leaping grab at the cen-ter-field wall, swiped a pair of bases and scored two runs for the Mets.

After beating Clayton Kershaw, Zack Gre-inke, Jon Lester and Arrieta, the Mets are two wins from reaching their first World Series since 2000.

New York starts NL Rookie of the Year Ja-cob deGrom on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. Rookie left-hander Steven Matz is set for Game 4, followed by Game 1 winner Matt Harvey on Thursday, if needed.

“They don’t have the credentials that Ker-shaw and Greinke and Lester and Arrieta have, but they’re going to be good pitchers,” Mets manager Terry Collins said. “We think we can stack up with anybody.”

Chicago goes with Kyle Hendricks in Game 3. If the long-downtrodden Cubs are to reach the World Series for the first time since 1945, they must first force the best-of-seven NLCS back to Citi Field next weekend.

“We’re all about one-game winning streaks,” Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. “I know it’s psychobabble 101, but it actually works.”

After homering off Kershaw, Greinke and Les-ter, Murphy added his fifth home run of the post-season, giving him eight RBIs in seven games. He’s one from matching Carlos Beltran’s record of hom-ering in five straight postseason games.

“He’s about as locked in as I’ve seen a hitter,” Wright said.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Joey Logano could have backed off. He could have let Matt Kenseth drive away. He could have prevented all kinds of con-troversy by deciding that second place was good

enough.Instead, he decided to

go for first.Logano got under

Kenseth entering Turn 1 with five laps remaining in Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway, sending him spinning across the track. Logano ultimately drove away for his sec-

ond-straight win in the Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-pionship, while Kenseth was left in a win-or-else situation heading into next weekend’s race at Talladega.

“That’s good, hard racing,” said Logano,

who was already assured of a spot in the next round of the Chase thanks to his win last week at Charlotte. “We were racing each other re-ally hard. I felt like I got fenced twice. He raced me hard so I

raced him back.”

Kenseth had every rea-son to race hard. He had a difficult run at Charlotte, leaving him in a dire sit-uation in trying to make it to the final eight in the “eliminator” round of the playoffs.

“I’m really disappoint-ed,” Kenseth said. “I was running the lane he wanted

to run in, but my goodness, isn’t this racing? Strategi-cally, I think it wasn’t the smartest move on his part. He’ll probably sleep good tonight. I hope he enjoys that one. It’s not what I would have done.”

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Long known as a basket-ball-crazy city, Memphis has a football team to love, too.

The undefeated Mem-phis Tigers jumped into The Associated Press Top 25 at No. 18 on Sunday, one day after a 37-24 victory over then-No. 13 Ole Miss at the Liberty Bowl.

It’s a huge breakthrough for a program that often has been mediocre on the field and drawn lukewarm support. The ranking is the highest in school history. It’s just the third time the Tigers have been national-ly ranked.

Memphis (6-0, 2-0 American Athletic Confer-ence) has won 13-straight games dating back to last season, which is the na-tion’s third longest streak. But there was plenty of skepticism about that achievement because of the Tigers’ so-so schedule.

That changed in a big way Saturday.

Junior quarterback Pax-ton Lynch led an offense that was dominant for near-ly the entire day. Ole Miss built a 14-0 lead, but Lynch helped the Tigers respond

with 31-straight points. He was 39 of 53 passes for 384 yards and three touch-downs. He also threw an interception.

It came in front of a crowd that topped 60,000 for the first time in nearly a decade. Players marveled at the atmosphere.

“When I first came here, there were not that many people in the stands and I come out there (Sat-urday) and there’s not an empty seat out there,” Lynch said.

It’s the latest chapter for the Tigers under fourth-year coach Justin Fuente. Before the former TCU offensive coordinator ar-rived, Memphis was one of the worst teams in the

country, with a 5-31 record in the previous three sea-sons.

Suddenly the Tigers can’t be stopped.

Fuente, Lynch, and the Tigers had gone mostly unnoticed on the national stage prior to Saturday. Now they’re in the midst of an upstart AAC that has three teams — Memphis, Houston and Temple — in the top 25.

“I just told them: ‘You think there’ve been dis-tractions before? Wait until now,’ ” Fuente said. “I’m go-ing to try and protect them as best I can, to protect the group. But I know those things are going to come and we’ve got to do a great job of handling it.”

MSU, which received votes in The Associated Press and Amway Coach-es polls Sunday, is at the bottom of the SEC West standings with Arkansas and Auburn. MSU’s losses have come to LSU, which is 4-0, and Texas A&M, which is 2-1. Alabama is 3-1, while Ole Miss is 2-1 in league play.

The Bulldogs will need to win and get some help to climb out from the basement to the top, but they feel good about where they stand.

“You’ve got to be motivated and you’ve got to be ready to go for that,” MSU senior quarterback Dak

David Allen Williams/Special to The Dispatch Mississippi State senior quarterback Dak Prescott rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown Saturday in a 45-20 victory against Louisiana Tech at Davis Wade Stadium. He was 30 of 43 for 347 yards and three touchdowns.

STARKVILLE — The Mississip-pi State football team’s season is far from over.

In fact, it’s just beginning.MSU finished its non-conference

slate Saturday with a 45-20 victory against Louisiana Tech. MSU (5-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) went 4-0 against non-league foes. That has happened five times in coach Dan Mullen’s seven years at the school. Mullen is 28-5 against non-confer-ence opponents.

Now the attention turns back to the SEC. “We’ve got to get ourselves ready and get ready for the grind we’re about to go through over the next couple of weeks,” Mullen said. “There’s a lot of football to be played.”

With non-conference victories against Southern Mississippi, North-western State, Troy, and Louisiana Tech and a SEC victory against Au-burn, the Bulldogs are looking to finish strong and have a chance at winning the SEC Western Division Championship.

Their quest will start at 6:30 p.m. Saturday (SEC Network) against Kentucky (4-2, 2-2). MSU will try to become bowl eligible for the sixth-straight season.

What We LearnedWhat We Learned from Week Nine ...

n 1. NOW IS THE TIME FOR COLUMBUS: The Falcons played far from their best game Friday night. However, Columbus found a way go on the road and win a Class 6A, Region 1 game for the second time. Columbus rallied from a 10-0 halftime deficit to beat Southaven 20-10. If nothing else, we have learned these Falcons will not panic. Double-digit deficits have been erased in three of six victories this season. The ability to win no matter the obstacles in front of you is rather telling.n 2. NOXUBEE COUNTY IS STILL KING: The Tigers were mired in a four-game losing streak (longest since 2006) earlier this season. While the losses mounted, the other teams in Class 4A, Region 4 posted some really nice wins. The fear was setting in in Macon that this might not be the special season first forecasted. Finally, Noxubee County is healthy and rolling again. The Tigers are 3-0 in region play after a 33-7 victory against Louisville on Friday night. Noxubee County has owned this region. Now 2015 will be no different.n 3. WEST POINT IS ON SOME ROLL: The Green Wave keep chugging along. Class 5A, Region 1 is deeper than it has been in years past. However, West Point looks to be up to the challenge for at least a top-two finish in the region. After dropping its region open-er to Oxford, West Point won its third-straight game with a 47-21 victory against Lake Cormorant. West Point broke open a tight game with three fourth-quar-ter touchdowns. The Green Wave is rolling.n 4. CALEDONIA IS IN PLAYOFF HOLE: The Confed-erates turned some heads by making a long-awaited return Class 4A postseason play a year ago. Now it appears Caledonia will be hard-pressed to repeat that feat. Caledonia slipped to 0-3 in Class 4A, Region 4 play with a 40-31 loss to Kosciusko. Caledonia knows how to win. The Confederates are always competitive and they always play hard. However, the depth of this region appears the culprit for a potential playoff miss this season. Friday night’s game against Noxubee County is a must-win. That is a difficult proposition.n 5. WEST LOWNDES CONTINUES TO IMPRESS: The Panthers keep playing well. West Lowndes defeated Vardaman 38-21 in a Class 1A, Region 1 game Thurs-day night in Columbus. The Panthers have won four of their first five region games. A struggling Hamilton team is next on the schedule. It appears that a playoff run is in the forecast for the Panthers. West Lowndes is one of the area’s most impressive teams.

LoganoContinued from Page 1B

leading a race-high 153 laps, but his wild ride with a handful to go dropped him to 14th in the race and, more importantly, last among the 12 drivers in the title race.

“I don’t like to see that any more than anybody else,” said Roger Penske, who owns Logano’s team. “It’s one of those rac-ing accidents. It’s real tough when it’s in this kind of a situation, but there was no ques-tion Kenseth was doing everything he could to keep Joey from going by.”

So, Logano did everything he could to get by. “I saw two guys racing their butts off,” said his crew chief, Todd Gordon. “Joey had a couple runs at Matt and Matt blocked both of them and unfortunately got us in the wall.”

Eliminated from contention, Jimmie Johnson had a strong car and wound up be-hind Denny Hamlin in third. Kasey Kahne was fourth, followed by Chase drivers Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch. Ryan Blaney was seventh as the youngster continues to im-prove, followed by more title contenders in Carl Edwards, pole sitter Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman.

Hamlin’s second-place finish allowed him to climb to second in the standings, giving him the best chance of everybody outside of Logano of moving onto the next round.

“It was a very good day,” he said. “I want-ed to be seventh or better entering this weekend, and obviously second was a good run for us. Some of the guys in front of us had some troubles.”

When the field pitted under green with 53 laps remaining, Martin Truex Jr. had a tire roll away and served a pass-through penalty, while Kevin Harvick drove off with his fuel can and had to serve a stop-and-go penalty. Both lost a lap and precious points in the title race.

Truex got his lap back and finished 15th. Harvick came across in 16th.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a wheel go loose during a long run and pitted under green. That dropped him off the lead lap, too, and Earnhardt wound up two laps down and in 21st place.

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: My 10-year-old daughter

and I enjoy host-ing sleepovers for her friends from school. Over the last few years, her circle of friends has in-creased, as have the dietary needs of said friends. It went from simple meals like macaroni and cheese, pizza or hamburgers to parents request-ing gluten-free cookies, soy milk, almond milk, and other demands that drive me crazy.

I’m willing to accommodate to a point, providing vegetar-ian options and no nuts, but for parents to demand that I spend (what seems like) hundreds of dollars on food my family and I never eat is insane.

The last time this hap-pened, I asked the parent

— nicely — to provide a small container that I could store in my fridge for the girl to use for her soy milk. The woman became irate, called me thoughtless and wouldn’t let her daughter come! I don’t know what I did wrong, but apparently I made some faux pas because the same thing happened with

a different girl who wanted gluten-free everything.

Abby, what should I do or say in these situations? I usually provide snacks and such that fit most diets, but a lot of times the main course contains gluten, dairy, etc., and I don’t want to go broke buying select types of food for one kid. — SALLY IN WASH-INGTON, D.C.

DEAR SALLY: You did noth-

ing wrong. Asking the mother to have her daughter bring a quart of soy milk with her was not rude, and the same is true for the mother of the girl who has an intolerance for gluten. The parents of children with food allergies should be used to the routine of providing allowable foods for them to bring when they will be eating away from home, and for you to have received the reaction you did was over the top.

Dear Abby

HoroscopesTODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct.

19). You’ll make a commit-ment and tenaciously pursue it through the end of the year. There will be a cash-out oppor-tunity in December. Cultivate your burgeoning talent in Jan-uary; try apprenticeship or in-ternship. May and July are the most interesting months for your love life. Friends influence you, and you could even move. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 14, 38 and 5.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It takes courage to poke holes in your own theories. Just don’t poke so many that the theory totally sinks before

it’s ever had a chance at a test-float.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). “Let’s do this. Let’s go there,” they say — usually an indication that whatever is going on right now has either played its course or is just not getting off the ground. Ask yourself why “there” would be any better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe you’ve drifted from knowing what you want and who you are. That’s natural for these transitional times. The questions you ask will tell you more about that than the answers will.

CANCER (June 22-July

22). What if your life is not defined by what you do, but by what you long to do? Where would that put you now in your own estimation? Your con-sciousness on this matter will make a difference today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you’re going through is unique and universal at the same time. You’re not entirely alone in it, and yet, at the end of this chapter, no one will have a story like yours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re one of the most au-thentic and grounded people around, and yet even you won-der sometimes whether you’re faking it. Take comfort in the fact that, to varying extents, everyone is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Exciting challenges will de-mand a clear and quick mind. That’s why, if you can get out and do some exercise, it will be worth your while — or, more aptly, absolutely crucial to the success of your day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re going to speak up about something. Here’s a radical idea: Why not have it be about you? No one will organize around your secret wish, but your public request will be honored.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Nerves are like pepper. A pinch will give your efforts an exciting edge. Too much, and the soup becomes inedible. Regulating your nerves will be the challenge of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What would you have to do to impress yourself today? A goal with just the right amount of elasticity to stretch you to your potential will be a game changer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Family knows you best and therefore works you best. Beware of emotional manipu-lation traps. Don’t do anything that will make you feel like the sap of your family tree.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The one who expresses him or herself freely (risking possible rejection and/or personal embarrassment) will get the ball rolling so everyone feels comfortable enough to chime in.

MSUContinued from Page 1B

Prescott said. “I think we’ll come in starting (today) with a great at-titude ready to get better.”

Prescott owns every career passing record at MSU. The Haughton, Louisiana, native has passed for 1,700 yards and 11 touchdowns. He has gone 274 passing attempts without an in-terception, a streak that dates back to last season. He is com-pleting just under 66 percent of his passes.

After Kentucky, MSU has its bye week. The Bulldogs will play Thursday, Nov. 5, at Missouri. MSU will finish the season with a home game against Alabama, a game at Arkansas, and the annual Battle for the Golden Egg against Ole Miss on Saturday, Nov. 28, in Starkville.

“Next week’s game is going to be as big of a game as we’ve had the whole season,” Mullen said. “They’re a much, much improved

Kentucky football team. It’s go-ing to be a huge challenge.”

The Bulldogs showed their depth at wide receiver Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium. With Joe Morrow and Gabe Myles sit-ting out for the second-straight game due to injuries, MSU had to rely on backups. Fred Ross, Prescott’s favorite target this sea-son, got hurt in the first half and had three catches for 36 yards.

Junior De’Runnya Wilson had seven catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns, but freshman Malik Dear had six cached for 70 yards. Junior Fred Brown had three catches for 63 yards and a touchdown. Six players caught at least three passes.

“I think our receiving corp is the deepest on the team,” Prescott said. “When guys go down, we know there are people that are going to step in and do the job well.”

Prescott has led an offense that hasn’t been able to run the ball. He leads the team with 254 yards and four touchdowns. Brandon Holloway leads the running backs with 160 yards, while Ashton Shumpert has 159. Redshirt freshman Dontavian Lee has 128 yards. Shumpert has the only touchdown between the three. Former West Point stand-out and redshirt freshman Aeris Williams leads all running backs with two touchdowns.

MSU’s defense has started slowly in almost every game. MSU fell behind Louisiana Tech 14-0 in the first quarter before it rallied.

MSU defensive coordinator Manny Diaz wants to his group to get off to better starts. The Bulldogs have several new start-ers and still are adjusting to life without veteran safety Kendrick Market, but his replacement,

Brandon Bryant, had a 73-yard in-terception return for a touchdown against Louisiana Tech.

“I started seeing some play-ers start to really grab a hold of things, guys in the huddle really start to take ownership of this deal,” Diaz said. “We started to see a different look in their eye from that point on. Now what we have to do is we have to find a way to start the game like that.”

n Volleyball team loses to Texas A&M: At College Station, Texas, the MSU volleyball team lost to Texas A&M 3-0 Sunday in a SEC match on Sunday, Set scores were 25-10, 25-18, 25-15.

Alex Warren had 11 kills to lead the Bulldogs. Shelby Anderton paced MSU (13-8, 3-5 SEC) in assists with 15, while Blossom Sato, who left the match early with a bloody nose, had 12.

Despite the defeat, sophomore libero Payton Harris’ eighth dig late in the first set helped her reach the 1,000-career digs mark in only her sec-ond year at the school. She is 106 digs short of cracking the top 10 list for digs in a career at MSU.

Harris had nine digs to reach the 1,000-ca-reer mark. As a team, MSU only earned one block, with Jazmyne Johnson and Warren earning the block assists.

n Men’s golf team heads to Mountaineer

Intercollegiate: At Bridgeport, West Virginia, For the first time in program history, the MSU men’s golf team will play in the state of West Virginia at the Mountaineer Intercollegiate.

The event was originally scheduled as a two-day, 54-hole tournament. Due to below-freezing temperatures anticipated this morning, tee times have been pushed back to 10:30 a.m. and the holes shortened to 36 at the par- 72 Pete Dye Golf Club.

Ben Wood, Ben Follett-Smith, Taylor Grant, Jackson Dickwill, and Tim Walker will play for MSU against Missouri, Akron, Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Marshall, Miami University, Penn State, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Toledo, Towson, UConn, and West Virginia.

n Men’s tennis team concludes run at Southern Regional: At Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the MSU men’s tennis team concluded play of the USTA/ITA Southern Regional Championships on Sunday.

Freshman Niclas Braun defeated LSU’s Ga-bor Csonka, 7-6 (2), 6-2 in his final match in sin-gles consolation, while junior Vaughn Hunter fell to Sam Edwards, 4-6, 6-3, 10-5.

Freshmen Trevor Foshey and Lucas San-chez received extra matches Sunday to round out their play at the Southern Regionals. Foshey split his two matches, while Sanchez dropped three matches.
