Prosecutors have 11 days to respond to Larry Langford’s request for a new trial.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—- Judge Scott Coogler has given prosecutors 11 days for respond to Larry Langford’s request for a new trial.
Wednesday, Langford filed a motion asking Coogler for a new trial and change of venue following his federal fraud conviction a week earlier.
It took a jury less than two hours to convict Langford on all 60 counts in a public corruption case involving alleged bribes he received for helping his friends win Jefferson Count bond business.
In Wednesday’s filing, Langford’s attorney cited the judge’s refusal to allow testimony about Langford’s generosity and the brevity of the jury’s deliberations as reasons he should be granted a new trial.

Expect lots of fun in the biiiggg house. Simple steps are:
1) drop the Ivory
2) you need a hint?
Give me a break! Larry was the one who asked that the trial be moved to Tuscaloosa and now he says he did not get a fair trial there….maybe the deliberations were short because the evidence of his guilt was obvious or because his defense was non-existent. You did wrong and got caught.
