On the ML charge, Delay's Attorney's have a motion to dismiss because of Prosecutorial misconduct. The Judge wouldn't hear that motion last month, saying they needed to wait until this ruling.

The ML charge was unlikely to be dismissed out-of-hand, their argument being that a check isn't cash, something I imagine a judge isn't willing to jump on. But the ML charge is the one that is more likely to fall to a misconduct charge because of the WAY it was obtained, shopping the charge to different grand juries.

It is also the harder charge to prove, I believe, than the "conspiracy" charge, which I think was why Earle went for conspiracy first.

And since Earle seems to not have the "evidence" he claimed to have to prove the ML charge, that might be another reason to dismiss.

Of course, because one charge still stand, MSM will say this is a defeat.

Not one I bet will point out that the charge just dismissed is the charge that led to DeLay stepping down, and was the one all the democrats claimed that first week proved how corrupt DeLay was.
