Wright speaks
Rep. Wright has stood up to speak to Rep. Jones' motion for censure rather than expulsion.
"I am innocent of the criminal charges before me, however, I need an opportunity to prove that. This less than the appropriate setting to do that," he said.
He says he can't speak his mind and fully defend himself on the House floor without compromising his criminal case.
"My voters will have a chance to make that decision in 60 days," Wright said, his voice cracking.
