JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A jury found a state Supreme Court justice innocent of bribery charges Friday but couldn't reach a verdict on several counts against the attorney accused of bribing him and two former judges, who were also on trial.
Paul Minor, one of the state's most politically active attorneys, was accused of using cash, loans and gifts to secure favorable decisions in cases before Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Oliver Diaz Jr. and the two former trial court judges.
The jury returned no guilty verdicts, but only Diaz was found innocent on all counts.
