Lee Jackson Trial Scheduled

The federal trial of Virgil Lee Jackson has been set for June 12, 2006. Jackson has been in federal custody since last October on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm, after the ATF uncovered an alleged murder-for-hire scheme orchestrated by Jackson. The US Attorney alleges that Jackson wanted to murder his competitor, Gerald Cox, because Jackson believed Cox had told the local courts that Jackson's bail bond company was fraudulent. Jackson operated under two bail bond corporations, neither having a Missouri corporate bail bond license. One of those companies, Missouri National Surety, Inc., lists Jackson as its President. The other company, American Guarantee Surety, Inc., previously listed Jackson as the Vice-President.
