New Hearing Sought For Former Perry County Official
The attorney for former Perry County Judge Executive 68 year old Sherman Neace has filed a motion seeking a rearraignment hearing to allow Neace to enter a guilty plea on charges of federal vote buying. Neace, along with 65 year old Chester Jones, is charged with using $7,500 from the state Democratic Party to buy votes in last November's election when Neace was running for magistrate and Jones was running for school board. The men are also charged with mail fraud for allegedly sending a false campaign report to a state agency.
