Saturday Morning Briefing: No Plea Deals in the Jackson Bribery Case + Netflix's The Crash

from Both Sides of the Bench · host Shaun Yurtkuran

Good morning! A quick Saturday briefing before today's show. We'll discuss the latest development in the federal Jackson bribery case, where the plea deadline has come and gone with no notices filed indicating that any defendant intends to plead guilty. What does that mean for former Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, Hinds County DA Jody Owens, Aaron Banks, and the upcoming trial? Plus, a preview of today's 11 a.m. show on Netflix's The Crash. Did Mackenzie Shirilla's defense team make a critical mistake by waiving a jury trial? As a former prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer, I'll break down the strategy, the evidence, and why this case has lawyers debating it nationwide. Join me live this morning and again at 11 a.m. for the full show.
