Case: 25CI2:20-cr-00057-EFP Document #: 18 Filed: 09/10/2021 Page 1 of 2

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF HINDS COUNTY MISSISSIPPI

SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT

STATE OF MISSISSIPPI

VS. CAUSE NO: 20-5-057

JAYLEIN WALLCE DEFENDANT

MOTION TO REMAND

COMES NOW THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI by and through the District Attorney, and

respectfully moves this honorable Court to enter an Order of Remand in the above captioned

cause, and in support thereof would assert the following reasons, to-wit:

1. On December 21, 2020, the Defendant, Jaylein Wallace, was indicted by a Hinds

County Grand Jury for committing the crimes of Aggravated Assault in violation of § 97-3-7 of

the Mississippi Code Annotated.

2. On or about April 2, 2017, the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office responded to the

American Legion club, in Edwards, MS, in response to a shooting. According to police reports

there may have been a fight in the club that led to a shooting. The victim in this matter was shot

from behind, in the buttocks, back, leg, and ankle. Several different case shellings were

recovered, but none compared to a weapon, as no weapon was recovered.

3. The victim cannot identify the defendant or anyone as the person who shot him. A

sole eyewitness alleges the defendant committed the shooting because he saw the defendant with

a gun. However, without adequate evidence, the State cannot in good faith proceed in this matter.

4. As such, it is in the best interest of justice that this case be remanded, as the State

cannot meet its burden of proof without adequate evidence.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Mississippi moves this court to

remand the within cause for the reasons set forth herein until such time as adequate evidence can

be produced by the arresting agency.

Respectfully submitted this the 10th day of September, 2021.
