Dawkins was found not guilty on four charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and violations of the travel act. Code was found not guilty on three charges of bribery, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and the travel act.
“I think that’s pretty good,” Dawkins told the Star outside the courthouse.
