IN THE NEWSYou might remember that we threw a party for Ernie Laird. It seems the accounts of his death had been overly exaggerated. When we found out he wasn't dead, we threw him a Mark Twain Party and last Friday good friend Gary McElroy wrote a story in the Press-Register about it.
Brother and former partner Peter Madden (now with the Federal Public Defender's office), was featured in a news story about his client, a Flomaton man whose federal trial on bomb charges ended in a hung jury last month and who now faced new charges under an indictment handed down last week by a grand jury in Mobile. (Post-script: his client pled guilty to a misdemeanor. Way to go, Peter.)
Meanwhile, Arthur Madden is in an account in today's paper about his representation of Mobile-based Applied Pharmacy Services. The company has been indicted by an Albany, N.Y., grand jury in connection with a supposedly illicit steroid distribution network involving high-profile customers.
