Seven men and seven women formed a jury to listen to recorded conversations gathered through court-ordered wiretaps. The two-year-long investigation into the meth-distribution plan allegedly orchestrated out of prisons in Parchman and Marshall County, Alcorn County Greene County, Greene County, Greene County, and Walnut Grove began with the tedious task of listening. As Stephen Hubanks, a cooperating witness, was being questioned by Scott Leary, Assistant U.S. attorney. The long-term state inmate replied, “No, they’re no,” as the recordings started the prosecution’s case against Aryan Brotherhood members Frank Owens Jr. and Eric Parker of Petal. These men, including Hubanks were the last to be indicted for illegal activities in 2014. Parker and Owens are also accused of being involved in the kidnapping, murder and assassination of Michael Hudson in south Mississippi in 2010. Owens is also accused of trying to kill Jeremy Bailey at Marshall County Correctional Facility. If convicted, they will be sentenced to lengthy federal prison terms. They have pleaded not guilty. Perry Wayne Mask, a third defendant, pleaded guilty to one count conspiracy on Friday. He was also charged with attempted murder and theft of 44 firearms by Coldwater and Corinth licensed dealers. Hubanks stated that he had a “kill-on-sight” order against him for his cooperation with government officials. Hubanks also claimed that Owens was a “thunder fighter” because he had committed at least one act involving “extreme violence.” Owens attorney William Andy Sumrall attempted to convince Hubanks to acknowledge that both his 2005 Aryan Brothers loyalty oath as well as his court oath in court were not reliable since Hubanks renounced his membership. The Aryan Brotherhood has been described as a white-only prison gang. Hubanks argued that his court oath was true. He said, “I am trying make amends for a mistake that I made a long while ago.” Hubanks is one of many Aryan Brotherhood members who will testify. He has made deals with the government in order to cooperate and avoid any more severe punishment. . Dwayne Smith, DEA agent, was Tuesday’s first witness. He said that federal agents listened over 17 days to calls from multiple state prisoners during the fall 2013 and found what they believed was a north Mississippi drug organization.
