A former Morgan County Judge-Executive is looking to overturn a kickback conviction, according to the Herald-Leader. In August 2014, Tim Conley pleaded guilty to taking more than $100,000 from a contractor who had bids on bridge building jobs for the county. Conley is currently serving a seven year and three month sentence, which his attorney filed a request to have vacated or shortened last week. The motion argues Conley was not aware of the elements of the fraud crime he admitted guilt. Under a recent Supreme Court decision, other aspects he admitted to would not be counted as “official acts” in his position as Judge-Executive and may not be considered fraud in the narrow aspect. Federal Prosecutors have until mid-October to respond.
