UPDATE:
We have reached out to the Judges chambers for comment or an explanation and were told by a county representative, Judge Chatham is not available to speak with the media at this time. He also did not remove anyone from the Panola County Courthouse nor did he give anyone a cotton stalk. The Judge has remained in his chambers when the court has been in recess during this current trial.
Major Thompson, who also happened to be involved in the investigation for the murder trial then told LawNewz.com that he was the one who gave the cotton to the reporter, and that he was the one who ejected Jones. Thompson said that he banned Jones from county property, not the entire county as a whole, but did not provide any offense that Jones committed to support such an order. He accused Jones of inappropriate conduct for making a racial issue out of something that has nothing to do with race, even though her comment made no mention of race.
