Michael Holder, a Mississippi man, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of killing his ex-wife’s boyfriend, Logan Wainwright, in January 2023. Holder was found guilty by a Jackson County jury of capital murder and aggravated assault for shooting Wainwright multiple times while he was sitting in his car in Greene County, Mississippi.
Wainwright, a 22-year-old youth coach from Mount Vernon, Alabama, was well-known in Greene County, which led to the trial being moved to Jackson County after a mistrial. The case gained attention due to the nature of the crime and the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator.
The jury’s decision to convict Holder and sentence him to 20 years in prison highlights the seriousness of the crime and the impact it had on the victim’s loved ones. Wainwright’s family and friends have expressed relief that justice has been served, but they continue to mourn his loss.
The tragic incident serves as a reminder of the consequences of violence and the importance of seeking justice for victims. The sentencing of Michael Holder sends a strong message that such acts will not be tolerated, and perpetrators will be held accountable for their actions.
