Former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his aide Cade Cothren were found guilty on most counts of public corruption charges. A jury convicted Casada on 17 of 19 counts and Cothren on all charges. The charges stem from a bribery and kickback scheme involving state-funded mailing services, Phoenix Solutions. Prosecutors alleged a conspiracy involving fraud, bribery, theft, and money laundering to leverage elected office for personal profit. Former Rep. Robin Smith testified for the prosecution under a plea agreement.
