A federal judge has refused to order a new trial for New Orleans political operative Mose Jefferson in a bribery case.


U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon’s ruling Monday says Jefferson has failed to demonstrate that his trial resulted in a “miscarriage of justice.” Jefferson, a brother of former Rep. William Jefferson, was charged with paying $140,000 in kickbacks to a former New Orleans school board president for her support in awarding school contracts.


In August, a jury convicted him of two counts of bribery and two counts of obstruction of justice. His sentencing is set for Dec. 10.
