2006-11-21 |
Clinton Pardoned HastingsÂ’s Co-Conspirator The convicted felon who went to jail rather than testify against Alcee Hastings. By Byron York William Borders was a prominent Washington, D.C. lawyer when, in 1981, he was charged with conspiring with his good friend, federal judge Alcee Hastings, to solicit bribes from defendants seeking lenient treatment in HastingsÂ’s courtroom. Hastings was charged, too, though the men were tried separately. When it was all over, Borders was convicted, disbarred, and sentenced to five years in jail. Hastings was acquitted, but later impeached and removed from office. |
