JENA (AP) — Lawyers for two members of the so-called “Jena Six” say prosecutors and defense attorneys are discussing the possible terms of plea agreements that would resolve the five remaining criminal cases. Lawyers for Mychal Bell and Carwin Jones wouldn’t disclose any details of Wednesday’s discussions because they said they didn’t want to undermine the negotiations. Bell, Jones, and four other black Jena High School students were initially charged with attempted murder in the 2006 attack on a white classmate.
