HATTIESBURG, Miss (THN News)- In a new audio recording, for the first time, we are hearing Lamar County Sheriff's Office actually says that then 23 year old white male suspect Andrew David Cook's mom, Dr. Kimberly Walker Yawn, "admitted to her part" in the killing of Donivan Barnes, a 26 year old African American man that was killed on Friday, October 6, 2023.

Despite the Lamar County Sheriff's Office stating she confessed to her part in the homicide of Donivan Barnes, the sheriff's office still refused to press charges.

"She admitted to her part of it but we will not charge her!" - Lamar County Sheriff Office in new audio.

Audio Recording of Lamar County Sheriff's Office saying Dr. Kimberly Walker Yawn confessed to her part in the killing of Donivan Barnes, a 26 year old African American young man.

Lamar County Sheriff's Department said it would be up to the Lamar County District Attorney's Office to ask the grand jury to charge the mom or at the very least, present to the grand jury the option to consider charging the mom.

The family thought that was very unlikely to happen and as it would later play out 2 years later, they were right. The family seemed very skeptical of that option when the sheriff's office could have charged the mom themselves, as is their responsibility by state law.

Audio recording of Donivan Barnes family not trusting the grand jury charging the mom 2 years before the case was presented to the grand jury.

So, instead of being an accessory to the crime, she was invited and prepped what to say at the secret grand jury hearing as a witness on behalf of her son, suspect Andrew David Cook, in a carefully choreographed conspiracy that was architected in part by government officials to coverup the murder of Donivan Barnes so that her and her son could walk free, according to the family.

To prove Donivan's case is a conspiracy and coverup, the family has released several audio recordings that experienced legal professionals are calling damning, troublesome and outright unethical and illegal.
