Texas Court Of Criminal Appeals Turns Delay Down

The state's highest criminal court on Monday denied Rep. Tom DeLay's request for a dismissal of the money laundering charges against him.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied the requests with no written order two days after he announced he was not seeking to return as House majority leader. DeLay previously was forced to relinquish the Republican leadership post on a temporary basis due to the indictment brought against him.
