Walls to be tried by judge alone
May, 26 2005 - 8:00 AM
VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) - Former BC Liberal Party
Riding Association President Doug Walls has chosen to be
tried on fraud charges by a judge alone.
The case deals with a money shuffling scheme perpetrated
as a car dealership Walls was co-owner of sank into bankruptcy.
A preliminary hearing won't be held until January of next year.
Walls also worked as a consultant for the Children and Families
Ministry. An audit that included a review of the ministry's dealings
with him found evidence of bad financial management but no sign
of fraud.
The audit led to the resignation of cabinet minister Gordon Hogg
and the firing of his deputy.
