Former Virginia Officials Want to Be Tried Together
   posted 10:05 am Thu December 20, 2007 - Richmond, Va.
Former top officials at the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries are asking to be tried together on charges of misusing state funds.


A grand jury in September indicted William Woodfin, the agency's former director, and former game wardens Michael Caison and Terry Bradbery. The three were criticized in a 2005 audit for charging $11,532 on state credit cards for an African safari. Former board chairman Dan Hoffler also went on the trip but reimbursed the state.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?In court motions, the three said a single trial will save the state money because they face similar charges and plan to call some of the same witnesses.

A judge will consider the requests in January.
