Wright found guilty

Less than a month after Rep. Thomas Wright was booted from the General Assembly by his peers, the Associate Press reports:

A jury found former Rep. Thomas Wright guilty of fraud Monday after deciding he mishandled thousands of dollars in charitable contributions and fraudulently obtained a $150,000 loan.

The Wake County jury convicted Wright on three felony fraud charges. He had been charged with four counts, but jurors decided he did not mishandle a $1,500 donation from AT&T Corp. Jurors found that Wright misused or mishandled donations from two other companies, totaling $7,400.

I wish prosecutors could transfer across county lines.
