Earlier this month, we posted about the resignation of Louisiana Commissioner Robert Wooley who took over for former Commissioner, Jim Brown after he was sentenced to six months in prison for lying to the FBI.

Now, Brown speaks with the Insurance Journal about the ups and downs of his career in an interview published today. In the interview, Brown disputes his guilty charge following 57 counts of insurance fraud (which were later thrown out) and how the "major effort' by the federal government to "go after" then-governor Edwards contributed to his persecution.

Brown also talks about his guilty sentence, his time in prison and how it spawned his "labor of love", Justice Denied, a book chronicling his experiences. In addition to the legal drama, the former commissioner also comments on the chaos of Katrina-ravaged Louisiana.

It's an interesting interview. You can listen to it here, courtesy of the Insurance Journal.

[BONUS LINK]: Jim Brown hosts his own Web site where he posts to a blog, answers questions from readers, comments on insurance news and posts photos and thoughts about post-Katrina Louisiana (including the song for New Orleans by Andrew Gregory). Check it out—it's a goodie.
