Fleming Trial To Begin

OC Register reporter Scott Martindale says the trial for former Capo school district administrators will begin Oct. 13. The trial has been rescheduled seven times. Ex-superintendent James Fleming and another former administrator, Susan McGill, were charged in May 2007 with felonies for using district resources for political purposes. The two became involved in the attempted recall of all seven school board trustees in 2005 and created “Enemies Lists” of parents and others who supported the recall.

Lawsuits stemming from the creation of the Enemies Lists are still playing out, with litigants forming two separate groups to sue the district, the Registrar of Voters office and/or Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley.
