Similar Stories to Judge Denies Delay Motion For Directed Verdict Of Innocence on Bing News

AUSTIN - Visting Judge Pat Priest today denied former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's motions for a directed verdict of innocent in the political money laundering trial against him. Ellis was a DeLay political aid who was involved in setting up a $190,000 swap of corporate money with the Republican National Committee in 2002 in exchange for a like amount of money raised from individuals being sent to seven Texas House candidates. Priest told him what made this case different was that Ellis gave then-RNC Political Director Terry Nelson a list of specific candidates who were supposed to receive non-corporate money in exchange for the deposit of corporate money with the RNC. Prosecutors claim DeLay's motive in financing House candidates in 2002 was to gain a Republican majority so he could push through redistricting the following year to enhance his power in Congress. DeLay and two aides, John Colyandro and Jim Ellis, are accused of scheming in 2002 to circumvent a Texas ban on the use of corporate money in candidate elections by having DeLay's Texans for a Republican Majority send $190,000 in corporate money to the Republican National Committee in exchange for a like amount of money being sent to the candidates from an account of money raised from individuals.
