Federal prosecutors today dismissed a conspiracy charge against the former Senate President Pro Tem Mike Morgan. He still faces bribery, extortion and mail fraud charges.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Williams dismissed the conspiracy charge after U.S. District Judge Robin Cauthron dropped conspiracy counts against two others involved in the case, lobbyist Andrew Skeith and lawyer Martin Stringer.
Morgan’s attorney, David Ogle, filed a motion for a mistrial and Stringer’s attorney, Drew Neville, joined in on the request. Cauthron took the motion under advisement until she hears some of the defense testimony.
