GOLDEN — Former Jefferson County Treasurer Mark Paschall will be retried on a charge related to an alleged kickback scheme.
On Feb. 15, Paschall was found not guilty on a charge of attempted felony theft, but a mistrial was declared on a second charge when the jury could not reach unanimous verdict.
The Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office today refiled the deadlocked charge — receiving compensation for past official behavior.
State law defines the charge as a public servant who “offers, confers or agrees to confer compensation” in violation of his duty.
Paschall was indicted a year ago on charges that shortly before he left office in 2006 he offered a former top aide a $25,000 bonus and demanding that she pay him $9,000 out of the post-tax proceeds.
A jury trial is scheduled to begin July 29.
