Correction to story in last week’s newspaper

There was a mistake in a press release from the State Attorney General’s Office that was printed on page 1 of last week’s South Reporter.

A Marshall County woman who was convicted of attempted false pretense recently by a jury in DeSoto County Circuit Court had not been employed with the Marshall County Public Defender’s Office.
