Siegelman Pal Pleads Guilty - Pledges Cooperation w/ Feds

Last week, Siegelman crony Lanny Young pleaded guilty to a new bribery charge.

Former lobbyist and landfill developer Lanny Young, who has already admitted guilt once in Alabama's government corruption investigation, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a new charge involving a northeast Alabama landfill and agreed to resume his cooperation after nine months of silence.

In a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Young acknowledged paying $65,000 in bribes to Phillip Jordan when Jordan was probate judge and county commission chairman in Cherokee County. The bribes were in return for Jordan's help in getting the county commission to approve decisions that financially benefited Young and his landfill...

In 2003, Young pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery by providing more than $100,000 in cash and gifts to Nick Bailey, Siegelman's executive secretary, for his help with issues in Montgomery. He also admitted underreporting his 1999 income to the Internal Revenue Service by $500,000. (AP)

See here for more background on Young's dealings with Bailey.

It's also kinda interesting that Young is represented by Stephen Glassroth, of Glassroth v. Moore infamy.
