DEL.ICIO.USFormer city attorney’s testimony to resume
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former City Attorney Susan Langford will be back on the witness stand today as the federal corruption trial of former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell closes out its sixth week.
On Thursday, Langford was being vigorously cross-examined by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sally Yates when U.S. District Judge Richard Story stopped trial because testimony was running late, past 5 p.m.
The last thing Yates said to Langford was: “Well, Ms. Langford, that’s really not accurate, is it?â€?
Langford responded: “I think it is.�
Then Yates asked her to read a document in question.
Langford testified about the access city contractors had to Campbell while in City Hall. Yates questioned Langford about what the government alleges were Langford’s attempt to thwart the federal investigation of alleged corruption in the Campbell administration.
Campbell is charged with racketeering, taking bribes, and tax evasion. Story said Thursday that the trial is on track to end testimony by the middle of next week.
