12/06/2005: "I knew him when.."

Lance Malone, is going to jail.

Malone was the student body president at Clark High School in 1980, the year we both graduated. We were both raised LDS. He seemed nice enough 20 years ago.

So I find this weird:
The FBI tried to get Malone to become a cooperating witness in the corruption probes, but Malone says he wouldn't budge, in part out of loyalty to Galardi, whom he had known since high school. Galardi entered a guilty plea in the corruption case. So did his general manager John D'Intino, which means the two will be key witnesses for the prosecution against their former employee. Still, Malone has good things to say about Galardi.

Malone was a cop for a while, then a politician, and when he got voted out of office after one term, seemingly turned to consorting with the mob.

Lance was born in Honolulu, moved to Vegas and is going to jail.

I was born in Vegas, moved to Honolulu, and I'm free.

He's better looking than me,
but thats not an advantage inside the big house.

Still, its possible that Lance still has a way to stay out of jail. (bonus link) Though he also faces trial [warning NSW] in Las Vegas, and Vegas is supposedly a tougher case.

This should make the 30th reunion a bit more "interesting". (Not that I've ever attended any of my high school reunions.)
