A deal brewed in Milwaukee

January 20, 2006 Posted by Scott at 5:08 PM

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports:

In an unexpected twist in the Election Day tire slashing trial, four former Kerry-Edwards campaign staffers, including the sons of U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee) and former Acting Mayor Marvin Pratt, have agreed to plead no contest to misdemeanors.
The plea deal came seven hours into the jury deliberations; defendant Justin Howell did not agree to a deal and is taking his chances with the jury. (Thanks to reader Andrew Strnad.)
