Shortly after Mississippi Attorney General Jim hood took the stand this morning during Mayor Frank Melton's federal civil-rights trial, defense attorneys for Melton and Recio moved to block a May 26, 2006, letter Hood sent to Melton warning him about potential gun violations.

Judge Dan Jordan, who is presiding over the trial, allowed the letter to be admitted with redactions.
