On November 6, Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Jackson Councilman Aaron Banks were indicted on federal bribery charges. A few months earlier, Jackson City Councilwoman Angelique Lee resigned from office and pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery. In this episode host Grant Callen sat down with Jackson resident and attorney Spencer Ritchie to discuss these indictments, the charges they are facing, and the impact on the city. This is a dark day for Jackson, but also a season of hope as the city looks to elect a new leader in the spring of 2025. Tune in below.

It's not "elect a 'new' leader," but rather a leader. There isn't a "leader" currently.
When he goes to prison, will he have to take off that ugly false wig and beard?
When he does go to prison….there needs to be a parade on capitol street
I've heard Banks and Owens will go down, but Lumumba will walk free. Nothing would surprise me less.
Maybe through the process of this criminal case, we will finally learn how "da mare" has been mis-using his campaign account, which would explain why he has failed to timely file campaign finance reports.
If Chowke goes free it's because he ratted on a lot of important people.
