RALEIGH, N.C. — Rep. Thomas Wright pleaded not guilty Friday to six felony charges that accuse him of illegally obtaining or misusing more than $350,000 in campaign donations, loans and charitable money.
Wright's attorney, Douglas Harris, blamed many of his client's troubles on sloppy bookkeeping, not illegal activity. Harris, who entered the plea on behalf of Wright in a Wake County courtroom, said he believed his client was innocent based on a review of about 6,800 pages of discovery documents already provided by prosecutors.

I thought this jackass already got convicted?
Must have been another Tarheel legislator.
Wilmington Democrat
Party affiliation mentioned in the FOURTH paragraph.
Figured it was a Democrat when there was no party affiliation to be found in the article excerpt. It’s how I remember the reporting of the Tennessee scandals where the lone guilty Republican sometimes seemed to be the only one in the bunch to have a political party.
Yes your honor, I just accidentally funneled that money into my bank account. It was real sloppy because they caught me.
Where is our favorite candidate?
Perhaps this and this will explain the long absence...
Here’s how it works. If you’re a republican, the media starts jumping up and down until you resign. If you’re a democrat or other marxist, the media mentions you once then drops it. You get reelected or appointed to a high-paying job.
You just can’t keep a good candidate down! :-)
Since he’s not traveling the globe with his secret squirrel friends I’m surprised that he hasn’t been around in the past few months.
I see he took my advice and got smaller frames for his glasses.
LOL.
Incorrigible, I had no idea you were a political Fashion Consultant!
No one wants their leader to have glasses the size of Charles Nelson Reilly.
And they were tinted too!
His prescription probably needed to be updated anyway.
I’m sure.
I know I was dating myself with that Charles Nelson Reilly reference... can you tell I watched Hollywood Squares a lot when I was a kid? :)
NC ping, please...
I wondered why the article didn’t read “Rep. Thomas Wright (R., Wilmington).
We just LOVE this guy here in Wilmington!

And, apologies for the double-post. DOH!

Why? No mention of party affiliation.
Am I correct?
