Zucchet acquitted of conspiracy
UNION-TRIBUNE BREAKING NEWS TEAM 2:36 p.m. November 10, 2005
SAN DIEGO Former City Councilman Michael Zucchet was acquitted Thursday by a federal judge of conspiracy after a day and a half of legal arguments in the City Hall corruption trial, KGTV-Channel 10 reported. Zucchet and fellow former Councilman Ralph Inzunza were convicted July 18 of extortion, wire fraud conspiracy and wire fraud charges in a scheme to trade campaign contributions to try to repeal the law banning touching between dancers and patrons at strip clubs.
Lance Malone, a Las Vegas lobbyist, was convicted of multiple counts of extortion, wire fraud and wire fraud conspiracy in the case.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey T. Miller made the ruling in a hearing on defense motions asking that he set aside the jury's verdict, acquit the defendants or grant a new trial.
Those motions were the subject of a daylong hearing Tuesday. The hearing was continuing Thursday afternoon.
This is shocking to me. They had them on tape!
((( Pinging San Diego Freepers -- Zucchet WALKS! )))
Judge Miller is a Clinton appointee - 1997

Still awaiting Inzunza's fate. Will he be acquitted too or will he be sentenced?
Seems elected officials who break the law in San Diego are never held accountable...J. David Dominelli, anyone?
They had them on tape...one guy died, drank himself to death...San Diego has become one of the most corrupt cities in the Country. America's Finest City...my ass.
High School must have been hell for this guy...
"Hey Mike, vould you like to Zucchet? Yah?"

Apparently this CAN BE APPEALED. But that's highly unlikely.

Punks who should have never been elected.
