After an hour on the stand I was besieged by the media, interviewed by print media and AP Holbrook Mohr, and interviewed on Jackson WLBT TV My testimony is now being reviewed by U. S. Attorneys for possible testimony for the re sentencing hearing on Monday and possibly into Tuesday. See story of Toxic Justice. I will post Part Three, the final part of my testimony after the hearing on my blog. Part One and Part Two are on my blog.

Resentencing delayed for Minor, 2 former judges
By HOLBROOK MOHR
"JACKSON -- AP The resentencing hearing for
imprisoned former attorney Paul Minor and two former Mississippi judges
has been delayed until Tuesday so the presiding judge can consider
requests to vacate the convictions. U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate
heard arguments Friday on defense motions to throw out the convictions
and said he will rule on the matter Tuesday. If he refuses to vacate the
convictions, Wingate said he will re-sentence the men that afternoon. Minor
and former Harrison County judges Wes Teel and John Whitfield must be
resentenced because a federal appeals court dismissed some of the
judicial corruption charges on which they were convicted in 2007. The
court upheld honest services fraud convictions against each of the men
and Minor’s racketeering conviction. . . (more)
"Swan
told The Associated Press that Minor was her attorney in a personal
injury case in which Whitfield was the judge. She said the men conspired
to hurt her case. She also claimed to be the “informant” who first
contacted the FBI about alleged misconduct." |
