Uncovering Injustice: Hidden Truths in Mississippi's Burial Controversies

An independent autopsy conducted on Dexter Wade, who was buried in a pauper's grave in Hinds County, Mississippi, contradicts the county's claims about his death. The autopsy revealed that Wade had a wallet with identification in his pocket, despite officials stating otherwise. The report also indicated severe injuries, including a leg amputation and being run over by a police vehicle. The officer responsible for Wade's death has not been charged, and his identity remains concealed. The family believes there is a cover-up, while city and county officials attribute the mishandling of Wade's death to a lack of communication.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump plans to request an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department into the death of Dexter Wade, a Mississippi man who was killed by a police SUV driven by an off-duty officer.
