"Corruption convictions against Inzunza upheld"

"Corruption convictions against Inzunza upheld": Greg Moran of The San Diego Union-Tribune has a news update that begins, "The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday morning upheld the convictions on federal corruption charges of former San Diego City Councilman Ralph Inzunza. The court also upheld the acquittals of former Councilman Michael Zucchet."

According to the article, "A jury convicted both men in July 2005 on charges of trying to relax a city law that banned touching between dancers and customers at strip clubs, a change that would have allowed the clubs to make more money. Prosecutors said that effort was done in exchange for cash and campaign contributions."
