Stephanie Grace—in a column titled "Mose: Consultant or Conspirator"[permanent dead link]—analyzes various suppositions of symbiotic interfaces between the two brothers' alleged legal improprieties (Times-Picayune, July 21, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, p. B5).
Lemann quoted in Michelle Krupa, "Ex-N.O. official pleads innocent" in Times-Picayune, June 6, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, pp. A1, A11 (quote from Lemann appears on p. A11).
Laura Maggi "Judge doesn't buy indigence plea" in Times-Picayune, August 7, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, p. B3. Letten's office had put the Loyola Avenue property on hold because of concerns over its potential forfeiture if involved in the felony counts associated with Mose Jefferson's brother William J. Jefferson.
Lauri Maggi, "Lawyers hammer Jefferson on cash" in Times-Picayune, August 20, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, pp. A1, A8. Amato's statements supportive of I CAN LEARN did not necessarily mean that he was sympathetic to Mose Jefferson, whose associate Brooks-Simms was often at odds with Amato until the school board unexpectedly ousted her as superintendent in a January 2004 evening meeting characterized by "Shouting and cursing" (Brian Thevenot, "Final antics of School Board laid bare" in Times-Picayune, August 23, 2009, Metro Edition, pp. A1, A16). Ironically, the Board members being unaware, the meeting occurred on the same day after Brooks-Simms had received the second payment from Mose Jefferson. See also John P. McCall, "Good riddance to old ways"[permanent dead link] in Times-Picayune, August 25, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, p. B4.
A particularly "supportive" member, one of Livingston's partners testified, was none other than William Jefferson. That was kind of Jefferson, considering that he has nothing in common with Livingston.
Livingston's attorney was Jim Wright. ("Influence-peddling, the legal way"Archived 2009-08-26 at the Wayback Machine in Times-Picayune, August 21, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, p. B7.) Gill returned to the subject on the trial on August 26, 2009, satirically claiming that "Whether Brooks-Simms and [Mose] Jefferson were once an item or not, it must be admitted that they might have been made for each other" (James Gill, "A match not made in heaven"[permanent dead link] in Times-Picayune, August 26, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, p. B5).
Laura Maggi, "Guilty on 4 counts: In a split verdict, Mose Jefferson is convicted" in Times-Picayune, August 22, 2009, Saint Tammany Edition, pp. A1, A6. The court deemed Mose Jefferson to have forfeited the $100,000 paid to Brooks-Simms relative to counts 2 and 3. The charge in count 4 was dropped because, at the time it was paid, Brooks-Simms had left the school board. These and other details of the verdicts are set forth in Maggi's August 22, 2009, article.
