WAPT is reporting that Mayor Frank Melton ditched the proclamation he was supposed to read in deceased teen Chris Ulmer’s honor; instead, he defended himself against the federal civil rights charges he faces in court next week. Melton skipped an evidentiary hearing yesterday to attend the funeral. He says in the remarks that he will present the proclamation to the family so that they can read it.

No, Donna. Absolutely believable… and totally predictable.

Yes, very Meltonian. Even in the presence of a community’s grief he only wants to make it all about himself.

Very inappropriate forum to have said what he said. It’s a funeral, not the Neshoba County Fair.

When I heard he was going to speak at the funeral, I had a feeling that he would try to pull something like that. I actually said to my sister, “He’s trying to taint the jury pool again!” I wish I wasn’t right.
