TUSCALOOSA, AL (WBRC) – The jury is now deliberating in the Larry Langford federal corruption trial.

The jury must decide Larry Langford is guilty or not guilty on sixty counts ranging from bribery to money laundering. Langford says he feels good and is ready to get this over with. Both the prosecution and the defense had ninety minutes each to make their case with the jury during closing arguments Wednesday morning. The prosecution went over their evidence saying that they have proven their case that Langford did take bribes of about $236,000 in exchange for sending public financing work to the Montgomery firm of investment banker Bill Blount. The defense told the jury that Langford was taken advantage of and that the mayor did not consider any of the gifts to be bribes. Sources:
The jury in Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford’s federal corruption trial now has the case, following about an hour of instructions from U.S. District Judge Scott Coogler. Jurors must weigh evidence on 60 counts facing Langford, including, bribery, money laundering, fraud and conspiracy. Coogler told Langford and attorneys on both sides to stay in the courthouse because they won’t get a lot of notice when the jury returns. Two alternates were also released — one black woman and one white woman. That means the jury considering the case is made up of one black man, two white men, two black women, and seven white women.
