FAYETTEVILLE -- The laptop computer used in the investigation of a kickback case involving state lawmakers was missing 79 covertly recorded audio files because a federal investigator took it home for unauthorized personal use and then wiped the machine's memory before returning it, according to a letter from government attorneys filed Monday. The missing files caused the delay of the corruption trial of former state Sen. Jon Woods of Springdale and two others accused of arranging kickbacks in return for state grants. The trial was delayed until April 9 instead of the scheduled Dec. 4 date. Defense attorneys in the case have filed for dismissal of the case, alleging the government acted in bad faith. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2D7Qofi&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=VSrKaEaPejj8RqV0DQcvvU3aN7yJOKP0qMKBIogF6So&s=y0fVGaBgW7mvrAI7MI8eUW_gwid_DZWro5w9zs5Tq_g&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2D7Qofi-2B&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=VSrKaEaPejj8RqV0DQcvvU3aN7yJOKP0qMKBIogF6So&s=6gl-JC-KV3Ke2Q65eyhA2rV_x9znAc2FrPNf1raFNYM&e= -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emailcharter.org&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=VSrKaEaPejj8RqV0DQcvvU3aN7yJOKP0qMKBIogF6So&s=JCR3kdcyqIxG9SiR54ry6seG3j0EwE79p_hfsw34VIk&e= “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
