“I stand here before you today cleared of corrupt, discriminatory and baseless charges that have unjustly tarnished my name, my reputation and my businesses,” Jabari Edwards told a crowd of about 30 supporters during a Tuesday morning press conference called to celebrate his exoneration of federal fraud and conspiracy charges.
Day four of the federal trial of Jabari Edwards and Antwann Richardson saw testimony from former J5 Solutions Vice President Shanta Blakney, who oversaw many of the companies financial transactions, and Russell Sheffeld, who told the court he routinely gave Edwards cash “gifts” to help him make ends meet during 2019.
