Richard Kelly (politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Kelly (July 31, 1924–August 22, 2005) was an American politician (Republican Congressman) who was convicted of taking bribes in the 1980 Abscam scandal. The conviction was later overturned on the basis that the FBI had used entrapment. However, an appeals court upheld the conviction and he served 13 months in federal prison.[1]
Kelly, a former district court judge, attempted to reform Florida's justice system by insisting that attorneys appear in court in appropriate dress.
Kelly died Monday, August 22, 2005 in Stevensville, Montana.
