Summary
A major courtroom twist: Jason Ellsworth’s guilty verdict in the official misconduct case has been thrown out after jurors were handed sealed documents about key witness Bryce Eggleston — a longtime friend and former employee of Ellsworth. The judge confirmed the jury received exhibits never admitted as evidence, sparking calls for a new trial. Eggleston, who had pitched a $170K legislative tracking project Ellsworth signed off on without proper bidding, withdrew from the project amid public scrutiny and was never called to testify. With a retrial set for December 14th and Ellsworth still serving his Senate term, this case underscores how procedural errors can upend justice — and how personal ties can complicate the law.
