BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Court filings unsealed over the weekend show Larry Langford's outstanding debt and help explain why he argued he could not afford his defense attorneys.
In August, Judge Scott Coogler declared Langford indigent based on arguments and filings made under seal, and appointed attorney Michael Rasmussen to represent him.
That means federal taxpayers would foot the bill for Langford's trial defense.
An affidavit unsealed late Friday, lists Langford's total outstanding debt as of late July as $567,040.25.
The debts included: $65,000 to BBVA Compass Bank, $2,500 to Belks, $13,000 to Gus Meyer, $46,000 to Compass Bank, $18,000 to AmSouth Bank, $120,000 note to Al LaPierre and $60,000 to legal fees.
The affidavit stated that Langford made $11,360 a month and his wife Melva earned $5,100 monthly.
Langford was convicted last Wednesday on all 60 counts he faced from a federal indictment charging him with accepting $235,000 in cash and gifts in exchange for steering county bond swap business towards his friends while Langford served as President of the Jefferson County Commission.
