WBFF Fox 45 :: Timothy Bozza's Own Words Used Against Him in Court
Timothy Bozza hasn't taken the stand in his wife's murder trial, but his own words are used against him. In a videotaped interview, Bozza admits he wanted his wife killed and talked about paying a hit man. Defense attorneys say it's a plan their client never intended to follow through with. After being arrested for his wife's murder, Timothy Bozza started talking. Prosecutors say a phone call came form the man who killed Veronica Bozza, Timothy Bozza's business partner Cory Cotham. Timothy says while the men had discussed murder, he was never serious. Veronica's divorce attorney says during the fight for custody of the couple's son, Veronica began to fear for her safety.

"In her email, she said Tim looked at me and said 'Be careful it's coming' with an enraged look pointed at me with his right index." says Divorce Attorney Judge Philip Robinson.

The Bozza's financial planner says Timothy inquired about her $550,000 life insurance policy at his wife's funeral.

"He said he was glad I showed up he wanted to ask me about the life insurance policy and didn't know how to get in touch with me," says Financial Planner John Russell.

Bozza insists money was not a motive for murder, and that he never agreed to pay Cory Cotham to kill his wife. Prosecutors indicate they plan to call over a dozen witnesses. The testimony phase of the trial is expected to wrap up tomorrow.Timothy Bozza's Own Words Used Against Him in Court

Miss. chooses new firm to run Woodville prison
May 18, 2013 20:50 GMT

WOODVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Mississippi officials have picked a new company to run the Wilkinson County Correctional Facility.

Utah-based Management and Training Corp. announced Friday that the Mississippi Department of Corrections has chosen it to run the 1,000-bed prison starting July 1, the Natchez Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/10MvOGv).

Corrections Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tenn., had run the prison since 1998. MTC says it will keep "the vast majority" of employees.

MTC will get a five-year contract to run the prison with two one-year options. Last year, officials chose MTC to take over East Mississippi Correctional Facility, the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility and the Marshall County Correctional Facility from the GEO Group. MTC won 10-year contracts for each.

CCA still runs the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility and the Adams County Correctional Center in Mississippi.
