Craddick Avoids Testifying
By Byron LaMasters
Shocker! Craddick cuts a deal:
Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick has struck a deal not to appear in Monday's corporate electioneering trial, saying he might have shredded any communications he had with Texans for a Republican Majority two years ago.
Five Democratic state legislative candidates who lost in 2002 are suing Bill Ceverha, the treasurer of the Texans for a Republican Majority political action committee, accusing him of spending illegal corporate donations in their campaigns.
Lawyers for the Democrats had subpoenaed Craddick to testify and produce documents. But this week Roy Minton, the speaker's lawyer, negotiated the deal that excused Craddick from appearing.
