Julius Henson robocall jury seated; defense motions denied
Political operative is former consultant to Gov. Robert Ehrlich
UPDATED 8:34 PM EDT Apr 30, 2012
BALTIMORE - A political consultant for former Gov. Bob Ehrlich is set to face a jury. Julius Henson is the second man to face trial in the case of political robocalls sent to thousands of voters on Election Day 2010.
WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team lead investigative reporter Jayne Miller reported Monday evening that a jury was selected and opening statements are scheduled for Tuesday.
Henson is the self-admitted author of the robocall that was sent to more than 100,000 voters in Baltimore City and Prince George's County. The call suggested the election was over before the polls had closed.
Prosecutors have said the call was intended to suppress the black vote. The call had no authority line identifying its sponsor, which prosecutors said added up to criminal fraud.
