MELTON: TRIAL CONTINUES; JACKSON STALLS
Jackson Mayor Frank Melton is back in federal court this week,
continuing the ongoing legal and personal battles that have marked
his administration.
Jury selection begins today for the trial of Melton and his former
bodyguard, Michael Recio, who are charged with civil rights
violations in connection with the destruction of a duplex on
Ridgeway Street. The house was partially destroyed by
sledgehammer-wielding youths while the mayor and Recio allegedly
looked on. Melton claimed it was a drug house.
Another bodyguard, Marcus Wright, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge
and is expected to testify against them.
