The three-judge panel upheld White's convictions on perjury, voting in an incorrect precinct and theft.
in.govINDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A state appeals court has upheld three felony convictions against former Indiana Secretary of State Charlie that forced him from office, while dismissing three other counts.
The ruling released Monday rejected White's arguments that his defense lawyer during his 2012 trial provided incompetent counsel. The three-judge panel upheld White's convictions on perjury, voting in an incorrect precinct and theft.
The Republican was automatically removed from office in after the Hamilton County jury convicted him on the felony charges. Those stemmed from White using his ex-wife's home in Fishers as his voting address in 2010 while serving on the Indianapolis suburb's town council and running for secretary of state.
A message from The Associated Press seeking comment from White's current defense attorney wasn't immediately returned.
