Texas high court rules against former Tom DeLay aides

Dallas News:

The state's highest criminal court says money-laundering statutes can be used in the prosecution of aides to former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

In a unanimous ruling Wednesday, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rejected arguments made from former DeLay associates John Colyandro and Jim Ellis that the law did not apply to them because they transferred banned corporate money via check instead of cash.
