View Comments 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.
