From left, Reginald Freeman and his attorneys, Kimberly Jones Merchant and Willie Griffin, listen Wednesday during a trial at the Leflore County Courthouse. Patricia Young, who finished second to Freeman during Itta Bena’s municipal election earlier this year, is contesting the results. The trial for Young’s election contest began Monday and went into recess Wednesday after Judge Jeff Weill asked attorneys for both parties to submit to the court proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to help him make a judgment.
