Amputation can't keep Mississippi teen from basketball
2016
\"One of the rules is if you miss practice and you don't let the coach know, you get put off the team, and I was thinking to myself, 'Even though I'm in the hospital, I didn't let the coach know. He probably doesn't know,'\" Tay said. \"He called me and he said, 'Coach, am I still on the team?' So, for him to ask if he's still on the team really touched my heart... so I said, 'Tay, what can you do?'\" junior varsity basketball coach Charles Williams said. \"He said, 'I'm gonna get my prosthetic and I'm going to play hard for you and Coach (Darrin) Chancellor.' So that's all I wanted to hear.\" \"When you see a kid who, despite the challenges, is continuing to work and not letting it get him down, that's an inspiration to everyone who walks these halls -- from the kids to the teachers to us as administrators, it's an inspiration to not give up,\" [Keith Reed] said. \"It's like nothing happened. You can tell he's lost a step, but he's running every suicide in practice and he's running bleachers. He's not going to let it stop him.\"

Miss. woman's planned execution sparks debate
2014
The case itself has many twists and turns, with evidence, even confessions, kept from the jury. Byrom's only admittance of guilt was when the sheriff asked her if she was going to leave her son, Edward Byron Jr., to take the blame for the murder, and she replied, \"No, he's not going to. I wouldn't let him. ... I will take all the responsibility. I'll do it.\" \"The numbers we deal with, murders and violent crimes, in my experience, most of those have been committed by men,\" said Lafayette County District Attorney Ben Creekmore. \"You begin with the premise that men are more violent than women, as far as the number of people that commit that kind of crime. You'll probably see that statistic in the number of men versus women who are charged with death penalty.\" \"This one concerns me,\" he said. \"You expect her to try to protect her son. ... There's no going back. Once it's done it's done. You can't change your mind.\"
