Nothing shows a scheme existed, the defense says To get a conviction against U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay and two associates, Travis County prosecutors will have to prove the men knowingly raised or converted corporate cash with the intent of getting around the state's ban on using such money in campaigns for elective office.

DeLay is accused of conspiring with two political associates to use corporate donations to support Texas legislative candidates.
