Aull trial scheduled for Thursday


Barring postponement, the first trial in the Isle of Capri case is scheduled for Thursday in Pettis County Circuit Court.

Rep. Joseph Aull, D-Marshall, is charged with providing Sen. Jeff Smith, D-St. Louis with identification to enable Smith to gamble at the Isle of Capri casino in Boonville. The trial is scheduled to begin on the one-year anniversary of the arrest of Aull, Smith, and former Isle of Capri lobbyist Lynne Schlosser, who allegedly suggested to Aull that he give Smith his identification.

Aull, whose case is being heard in Pettis County on a change of venue, is being tried separately from Smith and Ms. Schlosser, whose trials are scheduled for late fall in Cooper County Circuit Court.

More information about the case can be found in the Sept. 1, 2007, Turner Report.
