The saga of former State Representative Larry Inman continues.
On Thursday, a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judge ruled Inman can be tried again for his charges of bribery and extortion.
In December 2019, was acquitted after a the jury was hung on all of his charges. Originally, District Court Judge Robert Jonker ruled Inman could not be re-tried, but Thursday’s decision overturns that.
Inman’s attorney Chris Cooke tells 9&10 News that the case will now head back to Judge Jonker in Grand Rapids and a status conference will be scheduled if the U.S. Attorney’s Office decides to pursue another trial.
Inman was accused of asking for a $30,000 bribe from a carpenters union over the state’s prevailing wage vote, then lying to the FBI while they investigated.
Inman’s term ended in 2020.
