Lawyer says Md. lawmaker Indicted for voting against gay marriage bill

[William769]

The lawyer representing Maryland State Del. Tiffany Alston (D-Prince George’s County) says he’s convinced that Alston was targeted for alleged campaign finance violations under the state’s criminal law because she voted against a same-sex marriage bill earlier this year.

Baltimore attorney J. Wyndal Gordon told the Blade Monday that Alston’s indictment on felony theft charges in September was the result of a “backlash” against her decision to oppose the same-sex marriage equality bill after she promised to vote for it.

Gordon said authorities initially investigated Alston for alleged campaign irregularities through a non-criminal, civil process overseen by the state’s Board of Elections. He said state prosecutors changed course and sought a criminal indictment against her almost immediately after she angered same-sex marriage supporters by switching sides and voting against the bill.

“That’s when there was an intense scrutiny placed upon her and they started looking at her with a jaundiced eye like they were out to get her after that situation occurred,” he said.

3. That's funny!

As though the increased scrutiny she came under because of her marriage vote nullifies her having broken the law in the first place!

Poor, poor, dear.
