Question. If Jefferson were Republican, would the headline and first sentence say:
Republican Ex-Rep. Jefferson Convicted in Bribery Scheme
Former Republican Representative William J. Jefferson was convicted Wednesday afternoon
Try better to troll next time.
SAME papers headline when republican Stevens was convicted.
"Alaska Senator Is Guilty Over His Failures to Disclose Gifts "
In fact they did not even mention he was a republican, just that he was running against a democrat. Yet they said jefferson was a Dem in the second paragraph.
So seems it is the Dems that got more raw deal by your standards.

The only ones who would say that are Republirats. Democrats (and Demorats) know better.
Oh that's a load of crap. Every left leaning poster on this forum thinks their shit doesn't stink and that only Republicans do shiesty deals and are corrupt.

IMHO and sadly, we should note that William Jefferson used endless legal dodges to keep from going to trial for about four long years.
And now that Jefferson stands convicted on 11 of 16 counts, how many more damn years before that rascal sees the inside of a jail cell where he belongs? I would not be surprised to see him stall it out another four years or so.
There is something clearly wrong with our criminal justice system, maybe we should not rush to judgment, but crawling to judgment at less than the speed of a snail is also wrong.

A former Louisiana congressman who famously stashed cash in his freezer was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking hundreds of thousands in bribes in exchange for using his influence to broker business deals in Africa.
The sentence handed down in suburban Washington was far less than the nearly 30 years prosecutors had sought for William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans for nearly 20 years.
he has been sentenced to 13 years in prison

Club Fed or Rock Breaker hotel?

High-ranking politicians wouldn't get sent to a prison where they'd meet Bubba in the first place. Not because politicians are too good to go to such a place, but because of security concerns. If Bubba harbors a deep hatred and resentment towards authority figures and assaults, or even murders this Jefferson fella... Well, it wouldn't look good, to say the least.Should we empower sexual sadists in our prison system as a measure of our justice system?

Yes he has, but the appeals process will now start and who knows he may get a reprieve on a technicality. Always seem to happen to scumbags like him.
C'mon, that ain't necessary.
The dude was a complete turd. If the democrats admit it, there's no reason to be nasty.
On a side note, my wife's family was represented in court by Jefferson's replacement!
