When the family of a murder victim has waited seven years for justice and closure, and that wait has rested solely on required investigative reports from the state…there is something wrong with the system.
One Yazoo family has waited seven years for an update on the case of the murder of Stanley Washington, who was 44 years old when he died after being shot multiple times. It was September of 2018 when Washington was murdered.
Osker Newton was charged with Washington’s murder. However, seven years later, the case has yet to head to a courtroom.

Willie Mae Fields said her brother enjoyed fishing and shooting the breeze on his front porch. He could often be found over his grill, eager to try a new recipe.
“He would call me all the time while he was cooking,” she said. “He often would oversalt his food, and he would call me to ask me how to fix it. He was a beautiful young man, who was so full of life.”
