Larry Paul Langford (born March 17, 1948)[1] is the former mayor of the city of Birmingham, Alabama.[2][3] He previously served on the Jefferson County, Alabama, Commission, including four years as the first African American commission president. He also served as mayor of Fairfield, Alabama, and served one term on the Birmingham City Council. Prior to entering politics, Langford was a well-known television personality, having worked for then-local ABC affiliate, WBRC TV as the community's first African American TV news reporter. In 2010, Langford began serving a 15 year federal felony sentence, the result of a highly-publicized public corruption trial in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.[2]
Langford raised money and generated public interest and support for Visionland Theme Park (now known as Alabama Adventure Theme Park), located nearBessemer. The park was built largely by bond issues backed by a consortium of municipalities in the western part of the county, as well as the city of Birmingham and the county government. The park later declared bankruptcy, and was sold to Southland Entertainment Group for just over $5 million at auction.
In 2007, Langford was investigated by the SEC on corruption charges. In 2008, a lawsuit was filed against him for illegally accepting $156,000 in cash and benefits.
On December 1, 2008, Langford, along with investment banker William B. Blount and former state Democratic Chairman Al LaPierre, was arrested by the FBI on a 101-count indictment alleging conspiracy, bribery, fraud, money laundering, and filing false tax returns in connection with a long-running bribery scheme.[4] His public corruption trial ended on October 28, 2009 with convictions on 60 counts, and resulted in his automatic removal from office.[5]
On March 5, 2010, Langford was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a federal judge in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He was also fined more than $119,000.[6]

Matt Largen- Why did NISSAN get 50 times MORE taxpayer money than other companies? Please answer. I'm working on a motion to add the State of Tennessee to the malicious prosecution case. I'm going to ask YOU to testify. If the judge dismisses NISSAN from liability I'm asking for an appeal. The fact is NISSAN maliciously prosecuted me & used the state as a "tool".... If the state wants to "fall of the sword for NISSAN"... then I get to do depositions. The fact is Terry Wood the Williamson County ADA took something to the Grand Jury that was not valid. The statue clearly states that. His motives were to help NISSAN - a reasonable person would know that no "educated" lawyer would do that. NISSAN was able to discredit me and then drew down 1.4 Billon of a Dept. of Energy loan. The collateral for a taxpayer IDB bond. While fighting "trumped up" stalking charges I lost credibility and could not secure a lawyer to file aFalse Claims lawsuit. Had Terry Wood NOT have taking a "clear" false case to the Grand Jury then Oddly my Grand Jury signatures are "fuzzy" this lady showed me her grand jury signatures and it looks like some of the "same" people signed.. Clearly when they signed mine they made their names illegible. Why?
