Ex-Okla. lawmaker guilty in bribery trial

Source: AP

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A former Oklahoma lawmaker accused of offering a legislative colleague a job in exchange for her promise not to seek re-election was found guilty of felony bribery Tuesday.

A 12-member jury returned the verdict in the case of former Rep. Randy Terrill, R-Moore, after deliberating for about four hours.

The jury recommended a one-year prison sentence and a $5,000 fine.

I don't understand why on earth Debbie Leftwich (a Democrat) got hooked up with him for any reason. This most definitely does not bode well for her trial in December.
