AG Investigator Tony Castaldo Acquitted Posted by Danny, on March 8th, 2007, at 8:53 am
Yesterday morning’s Birmingham News story on the trial raised interesting questions in my mind. Chief among them comes from my curiosity regarding Castaldo’s testimony that his job had been to “perform ‘favors for friends’ of the attorney general.” I really can’t add anything to the good job Wheeler at Alablawg has already done in raising the questions.

Week Starts with Gambling Debate
Spent some time campaigning this weekend before heading back into session again After a weekend of campaigning it is back to work in Montgomery again.

why didn’t ya’ll report that Castaldo testified that he refused to do the favors he was asked to perform and that’s why he got arrested and prosecuted? it was in the same article about his aquittal. nice picture, btw. goofy looking fella……….
aginsider, the AP story on the acquittal that prompted this post did not say what you were telling in your comment. A later AP story came out that told more of the details of his defense, and the Parlor did take note in a later post.
Glad you like the picture. I like that an investigator for the AG’s office is prepared to rock, in a Buckaroo Banzai kind of way.
[...] The odd detail of the Birmingham News story linked here in a previous post that I could not figure out was why wasn’t the AG’s office circling the wagons with Castaldo on the perjury charge?
