| La. Congressman's Brother Indicted |
| 2008-04-03 |
| The eldest brother and political strategist of indicted U.S. Rep. William Jefferson has been charged with giving payoffs to a school-board president - a bribery case apparently unrelated to the one against the congressman. In a federal indictment handed up Wednesday, Mose Jefferson is accused of giving $140,000 to help secure about $14 million in contracts to bring a computer-based teaching system to Orleans Parish schools. He is charged with bribery, money laundering and obstruction of justice. |

| #3 Hey, it was only one percent of the contract amount. That's barely noticeable in the grand scheme of things. |
