JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Months after a judge sentenced a Florence man to life in prison for killing two people near Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade, his girlfriend has decided to plead guilty for her role in the aftermath that followed. Jenny Lukens took a plea deal this week, admitting to hindering prosecution. In court documents obtained by 3 On Your Side, Lukens said she intentionally misled police to help her boyfriend -- Jordan Cummins -- avoid conviction. She admitted to leaving the scene of the killing before police arrived, and embellished Cummins’ story to investigators, hoping it would help him. In June, a Hinds County jury found Cummins guilty on two counts of first-degree murder for killing 27-year-old Joshua Spann and 23-year-old Auden Simpkins. The shooting took place on Jefferson Street in Jackson, a few blocks from the parade route for the Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade in March 2023. Lukens’ deal means she won’t serve any jail time, agreeing to a 14-year sentence with 10 of those years suspended, according to prosecutors. She’ll serve the remaining four years on house arrest.

Mississippi Center of public policy President Douglas Carswell joins the show to discuss the positives and negatives of school choice in Mississippi. Douglas is a big supporter of school choice and my argument is that I can't stand to see Jacksonians be rewarded for destroying their city and being able to send their kids to a better school district
