Judge sets November trial date for Fletcher
FRANKFORT, Ky. --
Gov. Ernie Fletcher pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of illegal
hirings by his administration _ a plea entered by his attorneys while
the governor vacationed in Florida.
Judge David Melcher set Nov. 8 for the start of his trial.
A grand jury last month indicted Fletcher on charges of conspiracy,
official misconduct and political discrimination over the alleged
hiring of political allies for protected state jobs.
It has issued 29 indictments in the case, but last summer Fletcher
pardoned everyone in his administration but himself who might be
charged.
