Com. of Inquiry wants to hear from Godfrey associates
His flat out denial under oath that neither he nor his law firm benefited from the thirty million dollar Novelo’s loan came as a refreshingly straightforward answer amidst a sea of “I don’t remembers” and “I can’t recalls.” The only problem is that Glenn Godfrey’s testimony wasn’t true. Subsequent statements to News Five by attorneys Christopher Coye and Norman Neal indicate that the Godfrey law firm made a bundle handling the legal work on the D.F.C. loan, made while Godfrey was chairman of the corporation. Now it appears that the Commission of Inquiry investigating the D.F.C. would like to hear from Coye, who worked for Godfrey, and Neal, who while not an employee of the firm, did work at its behest. The date for the appearance of the two men, both of whom worked on the Novelo’s loan, has not yet been fixed since Coye is said to be out of the country. Also unsettled is whether the testimony will be en camera or broadcast nationwide via television and radio. At stake for Godfrey are serious charges of conflict of interest as well as perjury.
