Trial for Jackson Mayor and others accused of corruption delayed due to case complexity.
The trial of Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, and Councilman Aaron Banks, accused of corruption, has been delayed from January 6, 2025, due to the complexity of the case and insufficient time to review evidence. The judge granted the continuance, and new trial dates will be set after determining the trial duration. All defendants have pleaded not guilty.
