Brannon Trial Over, Judge To Rule Later

Judge Charles Hosack said at the end of Jim Brannon’s 6-day Election Trial this morning that he hasn’t decided what to do yet with 3 still contested votes and will render his decision on the case in a week or so. In his closing argument, which began at 9:42 a.m., Brannon attorney Starr Kelso requested that Hosack order a new election in the case. Hosack took that request under advisement. But said he wouldn’t rush the decision just to accommodate the possibility of a new election soon.
