SUMMARY: Mary Carter, former Deputy Director of Public Works for Jackson, is suing the city, claiming wrongful termination during the 2022 water crisis following her media interview about ex-Director Marlin King. The city's attorney argues Carter was fired for performance issues, not the interview. Jury deliberations resume at 9 AM, with a potential verdict this week. Proceedings are in their third day in federal court. Carter seeks compensation, alleging she was a competent employee and victim of politics. Her attorney emphasizes the lack of evidence supporting the city's termination reasons.

A federal jury is continuing deliberations Thursday in a wrongful termination lawsuit filed against the city of Jackson by a former public works official.
