Larry Langford Sentencing

Larry Langford Sentencing, 15-year sentencing was handed down to Larry Langford, the ex-Mayor of Birmingham city, Alabama. In Tuscaloosa Alabama on March 5, 2010 61-year-old Larry Paul Langford was sentenced by a federal judge to as many as 15 years in prison. In addition, $119,000 fine was also imposed on Larry.

Following accusations of accepting bribes in various forms such as cash and clothing worth $235,000 Larry Paul Langford ended up in prison where he’ll spend the next 15 years of his life. The main character behind the bribes offered to Larry through Al LaPierre, was a famous investment banker identified as Bill Blount and what Larry did in exchange for the banker?

Larry reportedly arranged various swap deals and banker Bill Blount benefitted from the bond swap deals as much as he could. On the other hand, Larry throughout maintained his stance that the money or clothing he received from Bill were actually gifts and loan amounts and that Bill was among his long-term friends.

However, his allies i.e. Al LaPierre and Bill Blount have already been sent behind the bars for as many as four years each in prison while on last Friday. It took less than two hours for the jury in their deliberation on Friday and the aftermath of the same is that Larry Langford might serve in prison at least 85% of his sentence.

Though Larry has the right to appeal the conviction and he plans to implement his right too, but under the circumstances it appears that former mayor is all set to spend the rest of his life behind the bars since he’s already 61 and the accusations he faces, are good enough to get his appeal rejected.
