Senator Larry Craig's conviction will stand. Not a surprising outcome, at all.
This report is from Yahoo News:
A Minnesota judge on Thursday rejected Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's bid to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport sex sting, a major setback in Craig's effort to clear his name and hang on to his Senate seat.
"Because the defendant's plea was accurate, voluntary and intelligent, and because the conviction is supported by the evidence ... the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea is denied," Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter wrote.
Craig, a Republican, can appeal Porter's ruling. But it wasn't immediately clear if he would.
