Banks to Plea Guilty in Jackson Bribery Case | Jackson News

Aaron Banks is set to plead guilty in the Jackson bribery case, admitting to conspiracy after months of denying wrongdoing — a major turn as two other key figures, former mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and former DA Jody Owens, have already taken the same step. The scheme centered on a downtown convention center hotel, with Banks allegedly seeking up to $83,000 in bribes including cash, a family job, and a security detail.
