Edwards Trial

NOP2000041901 - 19 APRIL 2000 - NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, USA Former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards, flashing the trademark sign that he says means "I love you," leaves the U.S. District Courthouse in Baton Rouge, La., April 19 with his wife, Candy. Edwards' defense made its closing arguments April 19. The former governor is on trial for racketeering, accused of running a criminal enterprise that traded on his influence to extort more than $3 million from five applicants for riverboat casino permits. The defense will make more closing arguments today, followed by a rebuttal from the prosecution. After an Easter break, the case will go to the jury. aj/A.J. Sisco UPI
