Corruption charges

The state Attorney General's office joined together the trials of state Rep. H. William DeWeese and Stetler, who are accused of different crimes and indicted with different grand jury presentments.

Rep. DeWeese and Stetler are charged with crimes uncovered during the Attorney General's wide-ranging political corruption investigation, which focused on elected official's use of public personnel and resources for political efforts.

DeWeese was charged with using taxpayer money to pay staffers to conduct political fund raising activities and do general campaign work. Stetler was accused of the same, but his charges are entirely separate from the charges against his former colleague.
