Mississppi: Ike Brown's lawyer cross-examines DOJ government witness
AP reports: Attorneys for Noxubee County Democratic Party official Ike Brown continued a rigorous cross-examination of a government witness Thursday in an attempt to find flaws in the witness' testimony.
Theodore Arrington, a University of North Carolina political science professor testifying for the U.S. Justice Department, examined the politics of Noxubee County and found that Brown and the county's Democratic Executive Committee are disenfranchising white voters.
He took the witness stand early Wednesday morning and finished at 4 p.m. Thursday after sometimes heated exchanges with Brown's defense attorney. ...
Brown's attorney, Wil Colom, closely questioned Arrington on Thursday about his earlier testimony and his investigative documents. Of the six election complaints cited by Arrington, five were overturned. The one upheld was the only election that took place under Brown's supervision as head of the executive committee.
Colom asked Arrington, the former vice chairman of the Republican Party in Charlotte, N.C., to give specific proof of ballot fraud and that coercion took place at the polls. A clearly frustrated Arrington could not. -- The Sun Herald | 01/19/2007 | Expert cross-examined in voting trial
