Senators raise doubt over testimony of Nashville judicial nominee
The accuracy of testimony by Gustavus "Gus" Puryear IV at his confirmation hearing to be a federal judge is being questioned by four Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Puryear is general counsel of Nashville-based private prison giant Corrections Corporation of America and was nominated by Republican President Bush.
After the February hearing, he provided written answers to additional questions about the company's handling of the death of an inmate at a company-run facility in Nashville, potential conflicts of interest he would face as a judge and his membership in the Belle Meade Country Club.
