There is not enough evidence to conclude former Attorney General Tom Horne and a former associate broke campaign laws during the 2010 election cycle, a county attorney has concluded.
Cochise County Attorney Brian McIntyre’s Wednesday decision likely puts to rest a long-running case that helped cripple the Republican prosecutor’s re-election bid three years ago and has dogged him since.
The case centered on whether Horne and his campaign illegally coordinated with an outside spending group headed by ally Kathleen Winn on ads attacking Horne’s Democratic opponent.
