Bob Graham Trial Day 1: XXX-citing

Today marked Day 1 of the federal corruption trial of disgraced Wyoming County senior center director Bob Graham, and what a day it was!

The Charleston Daily Mail reported that federal prosecutors led off with a quite titillating revelation that Graham spent much of the $200,000 unused sick leave he cashed out between 2002 and 2004 at a popular strip club. Assistant U.S. Attorney Hunter Smith said, "He needed money badly...He had begun spending tens of thousands of dollars at Southern Exposure in Princeton and on his relationship with dancers there." Among the expenditures were payments made by Graham for breast implants for an unnamed stripper.

At least we now know why he elected a bench trial (trial by the judge instead of a jury). A jury would have already convicted him by now.
