    REVISED OCTOBER 17, 2002 IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT _______________________________________ No. 01-30036 _______________________________________ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee v. EDWIN EDWARDS; STEPHEN EDWARDS; CECIL BROWN; ANDREW MARTIN; BOBBY JOHNSON, Defendants-Appellants. ----------------------------------------------------------- Appeals from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana, Baton Rouge ----------------------------------------------------------- August 23, 2002 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges. Benavides, Circuit Judge: After a long, complex trial, the former governor of Louisiana, his son, and several of his associates were convicted for their roles in various schemes to make money from Louisiana’s riverboat gambling license process by exploiting the former governor’s apparent ability to influence that process. The defendants appeal their convictions for, inter alia, extortion, mail and wire fraud, money laundering, making false statements, and RICO violations. Finding no reversible error, we affirm. I. Edwin Edwards was a prominent figure in Louisiana politics for more than two decades. After serving in the Navy during World War II and later obtaining his law degree, he spent several years in private practice and local politics. He served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1965 until 1972, when he was elected to the first of two consecutive terms as Governor. In 1980, he left the governor’s office and served briefly on the Louisiana Supreme Court. He then returned to private practice until 1984, when he was elected to a third term as Governor. After two federal corruption trials in 1985 and 1986, resulting in a hung jury and an acquittal, respectively, he lost his bid for re-election in 1987.
