Descripción

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.

WHO ARE YOU DATING? How Other People's Crimes Become Your Problems

Could your significant other get you arrested? This Saturday on Both Sides of the Bench, we're talking about constructive possession, spousal privilege, and why dating the wrong person can sometimes turn into a criminal case. If drugs are found in a house, whose drugs are they? And if both of you get arrested, can your spouse testify against you? We'll also break down the Broadmoor shooting that led to a murder charge and discuss why the answer to "Can I shoot someone breaking into my car?" isn't as simple as most people think. Plus, the Mississippi Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Saint Patrick's Day murder case involving Jordan Cummings, putting self-defense law back in the spotlight. 📻 Saturday • 11:00 AM 🎙️ 103.9 WYAB 📱 Live on Facebook & YouTube Watch who you date. Watch who you marry. And for the love of God, watch whose drugs are in your house.
