Hearing set on whether to toss DeLay charge
Associated Press
AUSTIN - A state appeals court will hear arguments from attorneys March 22 about whether a conspiracy charge against U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay should stand.
The 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin notified lawyers in the case Thursday that oral arguments had been set before a three-judge panel.
Prosecutors appealed to the court after Judge Pat Priest in December threw out a charge against the former House majority leader and two associates that alleged conspiracy based on a supposed plan to violate the Texas election code.

The charges against DeLay, John Colyandro and Jim Ellis involve donations to DeLay's Texans for a Republican Majority political action committee. The defendants are accused of funneling $190,000 in corporate contributions through the Texas committee and an arm of the National Republican Committee to seven GOP legislative candidates in 2002.
