We just got word from the U.S. Attorney's office that State Senator Efrain Gonzalez's bid to have his indictment dismissed has been denied by U.S. District Court Judge William H. Pauley III. Gonzalez's co-defendant, Neil Berger, also failed in his effort to have his trial separated from that of Gonzalez and two other co-defendants. The trial will proceed as scheduled on Oct. 6. Gonzalez is charged with using $420,000 in government funds for his own personal expenses and the other co-defendants are charged with helping him.
