Jackson, 29, faces multiple charges in Natchez, Mississippi, after deputies found evidence he tried to flush his mother Lana Brown Bradley's flesh down a toilet.
Authorities responded to Bradley's home on April 4 after her relatives reported her missing, discovering signs of cleanup, chemicals, and body parts hidden in a suitcase.
Sheriff Travis Patten described the crime as the most heinous he has witnessed, noting Jackson was allegedly motivated by his mother's attempt to evict him due to concerns about his mental stability.
