Former Fla. GOP (White Party) chief pleads guilty to Theft, Money Laundering
The criminal trial of former Republican Party of Florida chair Jim Greer had promised to be embarrassing for party leaders... But Greer's guilty pleas on Monday to four counts of theft and a single count of money laundering ended the trial before it even started and ensured that some state GOP secrets will currently remain confidential. "There were a number of people who did not want this trial to go forward and the trial isn't going forward," Damon Chase, Greer's attorney, said after the former chair entered his pleas in court. "Once again, Jim Greer is falling on his sword for a lot of other folks."
