Brandon and Gregory Case faced attempted murder charges for shooting into a vehicle driven by FedEx driver D’Monterrio Gibson in Mississippi.
Circuit Court Judge David Strong said the mistrial was due to errors made by a Brookhaven Police Department detective who admitted to improper testimony and sharing information that was not previously disclosed to the legal teams. Detective Vincent Fernando acknowledged under oath Wednesday that he had not disclosed a videotaped statement police had taken from Gibson, and had improperly testified about some guns that were found in the home of one of the Cases and gun shell casings nearby.
That frustration was echoed by prosecutors, who are uncertain whether a new trial could happen before the end of the year. Moore has requested that the Justice Department investigate the Brookhaven Police Department’s conduct in this case “for potential obstruction of justice.”“We believe that this is not an isolated incident but a part of a larger pattern of obstruction by the BPD,” Moore said.Terrell Stubbs, an attorney for Gregory Case, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Gibson, of Utica, Miss., said he had been to the neighborhood in Brookhaven, about an hour outside Jackson, Miss., only once or twice for his work at FedEx. The population in Brookhaven is 60 percent Black, according to the latestAt about 7 p.m. on Jan. 24, 2022, Gibson was delivering packages when he saw a white pickup truck approaching him and honking its horn. Court records show that Gregory Chase was driving the truck.
