Reports out of Raleigh say the federal judge in the Jim Black case is looking at slapping the former Speaker of the House from Matthews with a 10-year prison sentence.
U.S. District Judge James Dever also wants to know who — exactly — gave Black $29,000 in payoffs and what — exactly — Black did with that money. If this sounds like it could get very interesting, very quickly — you win a cookie.
There are going to be some seriously nervous people between now and Black’s May 18th sentencing — maybe even some in Mecklenburg County.
Those who made deals with Jim Black — and you know who you are — are running out of time to come clean.
