Campbell claimed he was a Champagne-aholic to shave 4 months from his sentence — “But in December 2006, a few months after beginning his prison term, Campbell wrote prison officials that he was a champagne alcoholic whose drinking problems were ‘painful and embarrassing to recount.’ He also alleged that government witnesses at his trial testified ‘without contradiction that I was consuming bottles of champagne on a regular basis,’ court records say. There was no such testimony in Campbell’s trial, prosecutors said. In fact, witnesses testified that Campbell didn’t drink, although he would make sure champagne was waiting in a hotel room for his longtime mistress, Marion Brooks, when she arrived in Atlanta. Prosecutors also disclosed a memo summarizing an interview Brooks gave federal authorities, in which she said Campbell ‘does not drink alcohol.’”
