Mississippi will get the first chance to convict killing spree suspect James Cobb Hutto, according to Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith.
Smith said officials in Alabama, where Hutto has been held since his Sept. 17 arrest near Auburn, have agreed to transfer the 39-year-old former mixed martial arts fighter to Mississippi for prosecution by Nov. 4.
Hutto, a Jasper, Ala., resident, is accused of the Sept. 13 slaying of 81-year-old Ethel Simpson of Clinton. In Alabama, Hutto being held on a murder charge for the death of his great-aunt Virginia Rardon two days later. He also faces an assault charge for allegedly attacking Mark Ambers Cox, 56, of Opelika, on Sept. 17.
