Demand the Removal of Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham/Stewart for Mishandling Cases

The Issue

I am writing this petition out of deep concern and personal pain. The mishandling of multiple bodies in Hinds County by coroner Sharon Grisham/Stewart, including those of Jonathan Hankins, Dexter Wade, and Marrio Moore has caused immense distress to their families and friends. This is not just a professional failing; it's a violation of our trust and respect for our loved ones.

The role of a coroner is critical in ensuring that the deceased are treated with dignity while providing accurate information to grieving families. However, under the current administration led by Ms. Grisham/Stewart, there have been numerous instances where this has not been the case.

Our community deserves better than this. We deserve a coroner who can handle these sensitive matters with professionalism, respect, and care - qualities that Ms. Grisham/Stewart has repeatedly failed to demonstrate.

We call upon relevant authorities to investigate these allegations thoroughly and take appropriate action if found true – which should include removing Ms. Grisham/Stewart from her position as Hinds County Coroner.

Please sign this petition to demand justice for Jonathan Hankins, Dexter Wade, Marrio Moore and all others who may have been affected by these alleged mishandlings. Your signature can help ensure that no other family experiences what we have gone through. Jonathan Hankins lay there for 3 months on a cold slab before being put in a bag and thrown in a grave marked only by a number, like garbage why his family, friends, search teams, other law enforcement agencies searched for him. This is unacceptable and unforgivable. At the hands of Hinds County coroner Sharon Grisham Stewart.
