Author Grant Langdon applauded a move to fight public corruption introduced by the Senate. My book Scandal in the Courtroom shows how damaging public corruption can be. My son was ruined and I lost my farm, but also a serial arsonist went free. It was estimated he was destroying a million dollars of property each year he continued to operate. It was not just the Sheriff, but prosecutors, lawyers and judges that helped with the cover-up.
. In a statement issued March 12, 2009 Senator Leahy said, “This morning, the Committee will turn to the “Public Corruption Prosecution Improvements Act of 2009,” a bill that Senator Cornyn and I introduced to strengthen and clarify key aspects of Federal criminal law and provide new tools and resources to help investigators and prosecutors attack public corruption nationwide,”.
The bill stiffens penalties for bribery and reinstates the definition of bribery to what it was prior to the 1999 Sun-Diamond Growers decision of the Supreme Court. It provides a hundred million dollars in funding. It also raises the statute of limitation. Senator Leahy’s office can be contacted at 202-224-4242 for more details
