Hinds County Judge Faye Peterson on Thursday morning dismissed all charges against two police officers on trial for second-degree murder in the death of George Robinson, a Black man from Jackson.
Peterson said the state failed to present evidence that Desmond Barney and Lincoln Lampley acted criminally in the detainment of Robinson, 62, on Jan. 13, 2019.
“There was nothing on its face that was illegal,” Peterson said. “The detention of a suspect is not a criminal act and there was no proof presented that they were conspiring.
The judge also considered the lesser charge of manslaughter, but the facts in the case did not meet that legal requirement, she said. She dropped all charges with prejudice, meaning the two officers cannot be tried again.

Dr. Robert Brodell with the University of Mississippi Medical Center told the VERIFY team it would be impossible for the vaccine to contain enough magnetic properties to cause a magnet to stick to human skin.
“There are metals around us and metals in our body, but I just can’t imagine there is even a small amount of trace metal that would be in a vaccine,” he told VERIFY. “You couldn’t see it - if you hold up a vaccine you see through the vial - there just can’t be particles of metal big enough to make that happen.”
