Judge: Renzi Co-Defendants Won't Be
Associated Press
January 15, 2009
TUCSON - A federal magistrate has ruled that two of former Arizona congressman Rick Renzi's co-defendants don't have to stand trial together because they're accused of unrelated crimes.
Magistrate Bernardo Velasco's ruling found that James Sandlin doesn't have to stand trial alongside Andrew Beardall. Sandlin is charged with Renzi in a land swap deal to benefit both men and Beardall is accused of conspiring with Renzi to commit insurance fraud.
The ruling issued last week says the insurance fraud counts aren't related to the alleged land exchange offenses.
Several other issues remain, including a defense request to have Beardall and Renzi tried separately, whether to dismiss the insurance fraud counts and constitutional challenges Renzi has raised.
All three men have pleaded not guilty.
