Clay County Vote-Buying Case Continues
KENTUCKY....
Testifying in federal court in Frankfort in a case against eight Clay County officials Thursday, Kenneth Day told the court he was once involved when former Circuit Judge R. Cletus Maricle took part in contacting a juror in a civil case in 1990 to push for a judgment of at least $1 million. Attorneys for several of those charged with conspiring to corrupt elections by buying or stealing votes in 2002, 2004 and 2006 attacked Day's credibility, suggesting he would lie to help prosecutors in order to get his 18-year prison sentence reduced. Day testified about times he and other officials bought votes in the 1980s and 1990s.
