Former Alabama State Senator Lowell Barron will go to trial next April following accusations of campaign and ethics violations.
DeKalb County Circuit Judge Randall Cole issued an order Monday (November 18th) – that both Barron and his co-defendant Rhonda Jill Johnson will go to trial April 14th of 2014 on six counts of the violation of state campaign and ethics laws; both have entered pleas of not guilty.
According to that indictment, Barron, and Johnson – a longtime employee of Barron’s – misused more than $50,000 in campaign funds, and they transferred the title of a campaign car to Johnson for her own personal use.
Lowell Barron served seven terms in the state Senate before losing to Shadrack McGill in 2010.
