The trial of Rep. Joe Aull, D-Marshall, for providing his identification to Sen. Jeff Smith, D-Columbia so he could gamble at the Isle of Capri casino in Boonville has been postponed until Aug. 21, according to Pettis County Circuit Court records.
The incident occurred one year ago today when Aull at the behest of Isle of Capri lobbyist Lynne Schlosser, gave Smith the identification. The two legislators were part of a lobbyist-financed junket to the casino. Aull's trial is being held in Pettis County on a change of venue from Cooper County. Smith and Ms. Schlosser's trials are scheduled for later this year in Cooper County.

Actually, it is Sen. Jeff Smith D-St Louis, not Jeff Harris, who was involved in the Aull case.
Thanks for noticing that. I guess I have been writing too much about the attorney general race. I will change that immediately.
