FILE - In this June 16, 2006 file photo, former Alabama Gov. John Patterson reacts to a question about the portrait of his father Albert Patterson, which was unveiled at a ceremony on the front steps of the Russell County Courthouse in Phenix City, Ala. Patterson, a lawyer who fought to eradicate a crime syndicate blamed for illegal gambling, prostitution and other crimes in Phenix City, was assassinated outside his office shortly after winning the Democratic nomination for state attorney general in 1954. Patterson's son John Patterson assumed the nomination and won; a sheriff's deputy was convicted in the slaying. (Roger Hart/Ledger-Enquirer via AP, File)
