Copeland Refuses to Answer Questions

The Times-Picayune reports that Al Copeland refused to answer 102 of 105 questions in a deposition recently. The questioning concerned whether or not he was aware of the scheme involving former Judge Ronald Bodenheimer.

Under oath and with his criminal defense attorney present at a May 14 deposition, the multimillionaire restaurateur "refused to answer any questions concerning his knowledge of and participation in the conspiracy," according to the papers, filed in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeal on behalf of Luan Hunter.
