Where Will The Jury Come From In The Jackson Federal Bribery Trial?

from Both Sides of the Bench · host Shaun Yurtkuran

In this 5 min clip, criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor Shaun Yurtkuran explains how jury selection will actually work in the federal bribery trial involving Hinds County DA Jody Owens, former Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Councilman Aaron Banks. A lot of people believe the jury will come only from Hinds County, but federal court works very differently. Shaun breaks down how jurors are drawn from 18 counties across the Northern Division of the Southern District of Mississippi. The episode also explains why this case is completely different from the Ted DiBiase Jr. welfare case, how FBI undercover sting operations changed the nature of the prosecution, and why the government believes recordings and alleged payoff schemes make this a far more traditional public corruption case.
