Former State Representative Bruce Weyhrauch plans to appeal his corruption case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Weyhrauch was originally scheduled to go to trial in September – but US District Court Judge John Sedwick ruled that evidence relating to state ethics violations could not be used in the trial. Prosecutors appealed and in November a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court reversed Sedwick’s opinion and said the evidence could be submitted.
