GOLDEN, Colo.—Jurors have found former Jefferson County treasurer Mark Paschall not guilty of theft, but they did not reach a decision on a second charge of receiving compensation for past official behavior.
Paschall was indicted last year after a former aid alleged he asked her to kickback part of bonus he had given her. Paschall denied he sought money from her.
Prosecutors pinned their case on a recorded phone conversation between Paschall and aide Kathy Redmond that prosecutors said contained a discussion of how to divide up the bonus.
But Paschall dismissed the conversation as “flippant” remarks.
The judged set a hearing for Feb. 28 on whether to retry Paschall for the receiving compensation charge.
