Police in Jackson, Mississippi, have arrested a man in the case of Tasia Fortune, the 29-year-old Black woman found hanging from a tree outside an abandoned house last month, following the state medical examiner ruling her death a homicide.
Jarques Ratliff, 51, has been charged with murder in connection with Fortune’s death, police said Friday. CNN is working to determine if he has legal representation. Ratliff will have his first court appearance Monday, police said.
“Last night, the medical examiner’s office officially classified Miss Fortune’s death as a homicide. With that determination, our investigators moved quickly,” Chief RaShall Brackney said at a Friday news conference.

He seems nice.
....Jarques Ratliff, 51,.......did I even bother to look...?
thank goodness it wasn’t some out of control, white supremisist, flag-waving, minority-hating MAGA zealot...
Remember how CNN/etaal ran piccies of other black thugs? All high school piccies with a big smile — and Mom going on about how he is a good boy. Of course, his atrocities happened a bit later.
Now, in this case CNN runs a thug-like appearance. Odd.
One interpretation is that the murdered woman was a total arsehole and his appearance was from years in her presence. Can’t talk about that, now can you?
Sad faces at CNN.
But I thought all those hangings of blacks were done by White Supremacists?
“Nearly 60 congressional Democrats demanded Thursday that the Justice Department and FBI investigate black Americans found hanging nationwide, casting the deaths as ‘modern-day lynchings.”
‘In this moment of anti-Blackness and emboldened White supremacy, we cannot stand idly by while the strange fruit of Black bodies hang from trees across the country,’ Pressley told theGrio.
Law enforcement and medical examiners have ruled most of the high-profile cases suicides.
At least one case remains open as a homicide. Authorities questioned Terence Bernard Anderson, the father of one of Tasia Fortune’s children, and arrested him on unrelated weapons charges.”
Turns out it was TODDI (the other guy did it).
Probably having hormonal issues. The system failed him.
Remember that being charged is not the same as being convicted.
Why? Are they gonna pay for his lawyer?

It’s nice that CNN thinks of the little things, isn’t it?

Looks tike one of the lynchers-ofoblack people referenced by AOC will be brought to justice.
One need not be white to be a White Supremacist.
Yep. Just ask Larry Elder:
“Larry Elder, a Black conservative radio host and Republican gubernatorial candidate in the 2021 California recall election, was repeatedly accused of being ‘the Black face of white supremacy.’”
He probably has psychosis, he needs a tummy rub, a gofundme so he can raise a few million for himself, and a defense attorney that makes jurors swoon
I think his wife is the real killer and trying to frame him.
