Everybody can have an opinion. Guilty. <br /> <br />I would have simply voted innocent or guilty except you chose to editorialize the question. <br /> <br />Ed don't get Federal Court rules confused with Texas State rules, this is a Federal prosecution. If an indictment has been entered (formal charges) it has already gone to the Federal Grand Jury and has been decided that there is enough evidence to proceed. You all right in the point that no evidence has yet been presented in court, that is still to come. This is an excerpt from the DOJ press release "Indictments are formal accusations of criminal conduct, not evidence. Defendants are presumed innocent unless and until convicted through due process of law." <br /> <br />This indictment is not something that just popped up this month, it has been going on for years. At this point nine lawyers and law office employees and Neil Babineaux (ex-UTU Texas Legislative board chair and Little/Boyd campaign manager) have been convicted. Ralph Dennis (UTUIA Treasurer and Boyd's most recent campaign manager) resigned his UTU post in July one week before the UTU convention. It has been reported by Dennis's attorney that he is changing his plea to guilty and is cooperating with the prosecution. <br /> <br />The charges are about accepting money from law firms in exchange for keeping them on the DLC list. The charges go on that the money received was used for the campaigns of Little and Boyd in their quest for President of the UTU.
