When Power Corrupts
William Jefferson is not speaking publicly after being convicted of bribery charges.
The former Louisiana congressman was investigated by the FBI, and Jefferson's former business partner-turned-FBI informant, Lori Mody, is said to have played an integral role in helping to gather the evidence.
Jefferson, 62, is facing 20 years in prison. His sentencing will take place on October 30.
So many people in positions of power and influence have been tempted and ultimately corrupted by greed, lust and power. We've seen it countless times, and yet it continues to prevail.
It hurts to see stuff like this happen to people. I don't know when it will end.
