One DeLay indictment dismissed; evidence to be heard on second

Various news outlets have reported that one indictment (related to a conspiracy) against Rep. Tom DeLay (R) has been dismissed. State District Judge Pat Priest, however, did not buy the defense team's argument for dismissal of the second indictment (that no illegal act was committed because no criminal proceeds were transferred).

Judge Priest did not address the motion for dismissal of the second indictment (related to money laundering) based on prosecutorial misconduct. According to reports, that motion will apparently require the hearing of evidence.

REPORTING: Associated Press, Austin American Statesman, Houston Chronicle.
