"Judges Deny Congressman's Bid to Dismiss Charges"

"Judges Deny Congressman's Bid to Dismiss Charges": Today's edition of The Washington Post contains an article that begins, "A unanimous appeals court panel yesterday rejected a bid by Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) to dismiss his indictment on bribery and conspiracy charges, batting away arguments that prosecutors flouted the special protection he enjoys as a member of Congress."

And The Times-Picayune of New Orleans reports today that "Charges against Jefferson to stand; Judges reject call to toss 14 counts."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit at this link.
