Editor Weston freed after contempt in Arkansas case
Joseph Weston, editor of the Sharp Citizen in Hatesville Arkansas, was released from Independence County jail after a four day stretch and later jailed again on a charge of lying to the grand jury. The case centers on his testimony about a prostitution ring and alleged source protection, with immunity granted to Patterson and Lane for additional testimony.
