RALEIGH (AP) — The prosecutor handling the campaign finance case of former Gov. Mike Easley says he wants to decide by February whether to seek criminal charges against the two-term Democrat.
Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly said today that he understands that Easley and the public want the matter resolved as soon as possible.
The State Board of Elections has asked a local district attorney to examine whether Easley or others committed crimes stemming from incorrect campaign finance reports.
The first prosecutor given the case asked to be removed because he and Easley are longtime friends.
