In this video deposition, former Tennessee District Attorney General William E. Gibson lashes out at the Putnam Pit and its publisher under oath for lying about him and the community. But in the second half, he  is forced to acknowledge that the things he complained about were true; he was not too smart, he was not a good politician, he wasted money and other claims he had just denied. Mr. Gibson who was disbarred for being pen pals with an inmate his office prosecuted, also denied he used cocaine with murdered Cookeville school teacher Darlene Eldridge, or a suspect in the murder. Gibson also prosecuted Republican Byron (Low Tax) Looper, the Putnam County tax assessor, who was convicted of killing state Sen. Tommy Burks, the Democratic incumbent Looper wanted to unseat.
