Lumumba Resigns, Ends Legal Career | Jackson News

Former Jackson mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba has officially resigned from the Mississippi Bar, sealing the end of his legal career after being convicted in a bribery scandal. His resignation—submitted Monday—comes just weeks after the Bar filed formal charges with the Supreme Court, triggering automatic license revocation. He’s also facing up to five years in prison for sentencing in October. Notably, co-conspirator Jody Owens, former Hinds County DA, also surrendered his license in July. This move marks a definitive legal shutdown for Lumumba, regardless of future sentencing outcomes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
