Grand jury indicts Pigeon, two others on felony election law violations

An Erie County grand jury now agrees with Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman — G. Steven Pigeon and two associates should stand trial for felony election law charges.

Pigeon, Kristy L. Mazurek and David B. Pfaff were all indicted Friday for allegedly illegally coordinating the funds of their political committee with Democratic candidates in the 2013 election for County Legislature.

The indictments formalize the complaint that Schneiderman’s staff lodged against the trio in April, and it is now expected they will be arraigned in the next week or two before the State Supreme Court justice from Madison County assigned to the trial, Donald F. Cerio Jr.

Glad to see Mazurek didn't get immunity from prosecution

In the end do you think they had a clue what they were doing was not allowed by law?

Let's hear the defense first - it's real easy to get an indictment. You don't even need meat in the sandwich. Just a litle fake ham, like tofu ham, is all the prosecutor needs.
