Maureen McDonnell Asks Appeals Court to Throw Out Her Conviction

written by Jeanine Martin April 20, 2015

“unprecedented application of the law to Governor (Bob) McDonnell, and the unwarranted extension of those laws to Mrs. McDonnell should be reversed and their convictions should be vacated.”

According to Mrs. McDonnell’s lawyers her conviction should be reversed because,

The lawyers argued that ‘at the very least’ Mrs. McDonnell should get a new trial.
