Republican
senator Larry Craig is back in court, this time in an
attempt to rescind the guilty plea he issued after his
2007 arrest in a men's bathroom sex-sting operation,
Reuters reports.
Craig was
arrested in the men's bathroom of the Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport when he allegedly attempted to solicit
sex with an undercover cop. The three-term Idaho
senator initially pleaded guilty, but his
attorneys now say that there was not enough evidence to
prove his guilt. The disorderly conduct charge is a
misdemeanor.
Prosecutor
Christopher Renz countered that the complaint and Craig's
initial guilty plea should be sufficient enough to put this
case to rest before urging members of the jury not to
allow Craig to take back his guilty plea. He also
argued Craig's behavior at the time was part of a
pattern. (Michelle Garcia, The Advocate)
