Ex-mayor ATL Campbell: "This can be an O.J. Simpson trial"

http://www.ajc.com/news/content/metr...rkW4bMy1WNOOPC!-1727337864&UrAuth=%60N%60NUObNYUbTTUWUXUWUZTZU^UWU ^U^UZUaU[UcTYWVVZV&urcm=y

"This can be an O.J. Simpson trial," said civil rights legend and former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young. "No one who's white thinks he's innocent. No one who's black thinks he's guilty."

While Young overstates the case, his comment demonstrates the dichotomy that is Bill Campbell. The former mayor, who is accused of taking at least $160,000 in payoffs and $137,000 in illegal campaign contributions, has steadfastly denied the charges. He declined to speak for this article.
