TL;DR Summary

The family of Dexter Wade, who was struck and killed by a Jackson police officer and buried in a pauper's field without his mother's knowledge, suffered another indignity when his remains were exhumed without ceremony. Despite arranging the exhumation with county officials, Bettersten Wade arrived to find her son's remains already dug up and placed in a body bag. This latest insult adds to the ordeal she has faced since her son's death, which sparked public outrage. The exhumation, conducted out of sight of the public, raises questions about transparency and accountability in the case. Dexter Wade's funeral is scheduled for next week.
