From Times Wire Reports
The eldest brother of indicted Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) has been charged with giving payoffs to a school board president -- a bribery case unrelated to the one against the congressman.
In a federal indictment, Mose Jefferson is accused of giving $140,000 to help secure about $14 million in contracts to bring a computer-based teaching system to Orleans Parish schools. He is charged with bribery, money laundering and obstruction of justice.
