Jefferson Convicted of Bribery

NY Times

Prosecutors wanted Mr. Jefferson, 62, detained immediately after the verdict on grounds that his ties to Africa made him a flight risk, but Judge T. S. Ellis III allowed him to remain free on bond, citing his local ties.


Fear that Jefferson would go to Africa to stay? That's funny. Not many African-Americans do that. A lot of we talk a lot about Africa but few are looking to actually live there pending jail time or no.
