ANALYSIS: MELTON'S ATTORNEYS AIM TO SUGGEST RAID BENEFICIAL
Jurors in the federal trial of Mayor Frank Melton took a master's
course in constitutional law from federal prosecutors last week.
So far, the defense has given them little more than a pop quiz in
what might have driven Melton on Aug. 26, 2006, when he and his
entourage raided a suspected crack house on Ridgeway Street.
Melton and his former police bodyguard Michael Recio are charged with
federal civil rights violations related to the raid and face between
five and 25 years in prison if convicted.
