Description

The Jackson Bribery Trial: Jury Pool & Entrapment Explained In this episode, criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor Shaun Yurtkuran breaks down two of the biggest legal questions surrounding the upcoming federal bribery trial involving Hinds County DA Jody Owens, former Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Aaron Banks. First, where will the jury actually come from? Shaun explains how federal jury selection works in the Southern District of Mississippi, why jurors will be pulled from 18 different counties across central and eastern Mississippi, and why many potential jurors may know little or nothing about the case. The show also dives deep into the entrapment defense and the FBI’s undercover sting operation involving fake real estate developers and alleged bribery schemes. Shaun explains what entrapment actually means, why these defenses almost never work in federal court, and how prosecutors use recordings and undercover operations to prove predisposition. Former prosecutor insight. Defense lawyer perspective. Plain English breakdowns of how the system really works.

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.
