http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-me-pierce11aug11,1,5029146.story?coll=la-headlines-politics&ctrack=1&cset=trueThe state Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to hear an appeal from Los Angeles attorney Pierce O'Donnell, who has argued that he should not face criminal charges that he laundered political contributions.
The ruling paves the way for a trial against the prominent attorney, who faces 26 misdemeanor counts of making donations in other people's names.
O'Donnell is charged with gathering $25,500 in contributions from employees and associates, giving the money to James K. Hahn's 2001 mayoral campaign and then reimbursing the donors.
