William "Ice Box" Jefferson convicted of taking bribes and corruption.

Back while the incompetent press was botching up the job of reporting on the disaster, Rep. William "Ice Box" Jefferson illegally used a National Guard truck for personal use. While committing this crime, another crime was uncovered. The idiot actually cleared $90,000 in cold, hard cash from his freezer. That discovery lead to investigations against Ice Box Jefferson. The investigation found enough evidence to put him on trial for over $400,000 in bribes and attempting to get millions more in "brokered" deals in Africa. He was convicted of 11 of the 16 counts for which he stood trial. I'm not sure if I would want supporters if this is how they would choose to defend me... "If Marion Barry can be convicted of smoking crack cocaine on video and come back, then I think Bill Jefferson can have a second chance," ~Rev. Aubrey Wallace "There was so much controversy, the way they (federal authorities) went to the man's home and took stuff," she said. "He was no worse than the others." ~Cynthia Toliver {{Note: All quotes used by the incompetent press need to be taken with a grain of salt since we have no idea how the press folded, spindled or mutilated it between the time the person said it and the printing of it in the media}} http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090805/ap_on_re_us/us_jefferson_trial
