Jefferson Parish Judge Sued by State

The Times-Picayune reports that 24th JDC Judge Alan J. Green has been sued by the state Ethics Board for accepting a campaign contribution in 2002 that was over twice the limit allowed by law. The donation was made by a Jefferson Parish bail bonds executive, who works for the company implicated in the Jefferson Parish courthouse corruption scandal. Frank DeSalvo, who is representing Judge Green says: "We're not very concerned about it, I can tell you that. It's just a civil case. Worst-case scenario is a civil fine."
