Accusations Fly Over Boy's Death

The Town Talk reports on a verbal battle taking place between Concordia Parish Sheriff Randy Maxwell and Adams County, Mississippi Coroner James Lee over the death of
five-year-old Eric Hudson of Vidalia. Sheriff Maxwell contends the boy drowned accidentally, but the coroner claims the boy was abused and murdered and that the sheriff is "covering up for somebody."

"It's apparent that Mr. Lee has lost touch with reality, and The Town Talk is the only newspaper that will print it," Maxwell said.

A Concordia Parish grand jury is expected to convene to hear the facts in the case, but no date has been set according to the 7th Judicial District DA's Office.
