Langford denied Supreme Court appeal

It is another "no" for former Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal of his federal fraud and bribery convictions.

Langford is serving a 15-year sentence in federal prison in eastern Kentucky. He was convicted of conspiring with a bond dealer to refinance the county's debt. The deal contributed to the massive debt and bankruptcy the county faces today.
