FEDERAL TRIAL A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLGAME
For metro-Jackson residents, last week's indictment of Mayor Frank
Melton and his two police bodyguards seems like deja vu.
After all, Jackson's first-term mayor spent eight months successfully
fighting a criminal indictment for his role in damaging a reputed drug
house the night of Aug. 26, 2006. That fight ended in an April 2007
trial and not-guilty verdicts for Melton and Jackson police Detectives
Marcus Wright and Michael Recio, his bodyguards.
The new indictment stems from the same event, but the charges come
from the federal system, making it a whole new ballgame for the three
men.
