Ex-North Carolina DA convicted of hiring fellow DA’s wife
RALEIGH, N.C. – Two former prosecutors have themselves been prosecuted after hiring each other’s wives to get around ethics rules in North Carolina.
News outlets reported that one of the former prosecutors pleaded guilty and testified against the other, who was sentenced Tuesday to between four and 14 months in prison.
The jury found Wallace Bradsher guilty of obtaining property by false pretense, assisting in obtaining property by false pretense, felony and misdemeanour obstruction of justice and failure to properly perform his job.
The former Person and Caswell County district attorney said it was just “administrative failure.” He promises to appeal.
Former Rockingham County District Attorney Craig Blitzer pleaded guilty to failing to properly perform his job and repaid the $48,000 his wife was paid.
