COLUMBIA - A Jefferson Davis County will pay with his life for the 2001 shooting death of a Prentiss police officer.

Cory Maye, 23, showed no reaction when a Marion County jury of eight women and four men found him guilty of capital murder Friday for the death of Officer Ron Jones.

Jones was one of eight officers conducting a search warrant looking for drugs at two apartments on Mary Street in Prentiss on Dec. 26, 2001. Shortly after Jones entered Maye's bedroom, he was shot in the chest, just below his bullet-resistant vest.

"It's been two years since he was killed and the hurt will never go away," said Jones' father, Ronald Jones, who was the Prentiss police chief at the time of his son's death.

Southern Justice. Father was police chief, I lived in the south and justice is for sale. Cops and Judges are crooked.

The jury, who has all the facts, found him guilty. It's a good bet we ain't getting all the facts.
