Ex-lawmaker convicted in freezer cash case Jefferson was accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A federal jury convicted a former Louisiana congressman Wednesday of taking bribes on 11 of 16 counts in a case in which agents found $90,000 in his freezer. Former Rep. William Jefferson, a Democrat who had represented parts of New Orleans, was accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for brokering business deals in Africa. Jefferson, Louisiana’s first black member of Congress since Reconstruction, showed no emotion as the verdicts were read. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 30.
