Read More...TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say they plan to try Washington State Auditor Troy Kelley again on fraud charges, after his five-week fraud trial ended with a hung jury in April. They made the announcement during a hearing Tuesday at U.S. District Court in Tacoma. Judge Ronald Leighton set a trial date of March 13, 2017. Defense attorney Patty Eakes said she’s disappointed with the government’s decision to retry the case. Prosecutors accused Kelley of pocketing $3 million in fees he should have refunded to homeowners when he ran a real-estate services business a decade ago.
