This little bit right here....
He maintains his innocence in this case.

This is the one who really should have known better, IMO. Not that the rest shouldn't have also, but this one had things going for him that the others did not. He is also the one that went on a cruise while he was out on bail and I never quite figured out how that happened or why it was allowed. I do think they eventually re-arrested him and denied him another bond.

from my notes:

Was released on $275 bond, but was re-arrested (3/12/18) & put behind bars. A bond hearing on 3/27/18: Judge reset bond at $275K with electronic monitoring.

But not sure IF he didn't post bond the second time.

Anyone here get into the MS court site? I can't.... Maybe it's on there if anyone finds it! He is in Madison County court site.

TIA! :)

Kingston Frazier’s mother becomes emotional as she takes the stand in Dwan Wakefield trial



JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Testimony got underway Tuesday in the Dwan Wakefield trial in Madison County.

Wakefield was charged as an accessory in the murder of Kingston Frazier back in 2017. In court Tuesday, we heard opening statements and testimony from a few witnesses.
[.....]


Taking the stand first was Eboni Archie, Kingston Frazier’s mother. She wept when she was asked to identify him in a picture.

She then described what happened the night she left him asleep in her car at the I-55 Kroger.
[.....]
Testimony will resume in the case on Wednesday.

@Quill - never mind - just got an article in my google alert!

Wakefield could face 45 years in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 16.
 
That article link doesn't go to "found guilty" but an article from the previous day??

Can you give a 10% synopsis on this - i.e. how long the jurors took to reach a guilty verdict & if there is a sentencing date?

TIA!
Oh how odd! It was the correct article at the time I linked it. Really weird!
