NWA editorial: No place for games | NWADG:
"Former State Rep. Micah Neal of Springdale shocked and saddened his supporters last January with a guilty plea in federal court to allegations he accepted kickbacks in exchange for directing state grant money to Ecclesia College in Springdale. Woods, Ecclesia President Oren Paris III and Randell Shelton Jr., a consultant, each face trial next year in an alleged scheme involving about $600,000 in state grants.
Now, back to the FBI involvement. The Woods/Paris/Shelton trial was slated to begin this month but has been delayed to April in part because of questions over the handling of 79 conversations recorded by Neal. Some recordings had been turned over to defense attorneys, but not those. Defense attorneys figured that out and wanted to know what explained the discrepancy. Such discrepancies have a way of damaging prosecution cases."
