New felony charges against District Judge Suzanne Wooten, campaign manager, contributors
A Collin County grand jury last week handed down nine new felony charges against Wooten and campaign contributors David and Stacy Cary and eight new felony charges against her campaign manager, James Stephen Spencer, according to the Star Local News.
The new charges stem from the judge’s and her co-defendants’ current legal battles with the Collin County District Attorney’s Office over donations made by the Carys to Wooten’s campaign through Spencer that prosecutors believe were used to bribe the judge in exchange for favorable rulings on the Carys’ pending civil litigation in her court.The Carys are accused of making deposits of $150,000 to Wooten for reasons “other than a political contribution” from Jan. 4 to March 14, 2008, according to the indictment.
The four defendants were indicted last year on multiple bribery charges. Wooten was suspended from the bench with pay by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
