Melton on Trial: Defending his honor
His Honor Frank Melton defending his honor has become a daily routine. This week, the Jackson mayor is in Meridian defending himself against charges he libeled two officers of the Mississippi Buruea of Narcotics, an agency Melton lead between daliances in broadcasting and municipal, um, service as the city’s chief exec.
He alleged leaked a memo to The Clarion-Ledger in 2003 that got the pair of officers in hot water.
