Elections attorney believes Judge KP George may have overpaid himself $78, not $46,500
RICHMOND, Texas (KTRK) -- After more than a week, the felony money laundering trial against Fort Bend County Judge KP George could be in the jurors' hands by Wednesday.
George is charged with two felony money laundering counts. Prosecutors told jurors he stole $46,500 from his campaign in 2019 to pay for his property taxes, HOA dues, and a new home. However, an elections attorney doesn't see it that way.
Andy Taylor, who's represented several high-profile politicians, mainly Republicans, told jurors he's an expert in the Texas Elections Code and has helped many candidates fill out campaign finance forms.
Taylor said jurors could be missing as many as 18 campaign finance reports from George's prior races when he ran for county treasurer and Fort Bend ISD trustee.
