Guilty plea in condo scam - al.com: "A developer convicted of bribing the mayor of Orange Beach pointed federal investigators toward the kickbacks and money-laundering scheme involving the Westin condos, according to court documents unsealed in Mobile in June.

The assistance from Jim Brown and his testimony against former Orange Beach Mayor Steve Russo and former City Attorney Larry Sutley prompted prosecutors to recommend probation for Brown in that case.

U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose ultimately sentenced Brown to a year and a day in prison."
