Alexander case goes to jury


Louise Alexander walking to court Monday morning.

URGENT

The jury is getting final instructions from Circuit Judge Teresa Petelos after closing arguments were made in the trial of Bessemer Councilwoman Louise Alexander.

The state wrapped up its case by reading a quotation from the bulletin board at Abrams Elementary School: "If you live right the rest will take care of itself."

But the defense, which needed two lawyers, told the jury that 2,000 years ago the people put to death another do-gooder, saying that Alexander is a do-gooder.

Oh, and again they blamed Tuscaloosa developer Stan Pate for all of Alexander's troubles.
