Wake DA: No immunity deals for 9th District hearings
Source: WRAL-TV
RALEIGH, N.C. — None of the witnesses in this week's 9th Congressional District hearings has immunity deals in a parallel criminal investigation, Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman said Tuesday.
That includes Lisa Britt, who admitted to multiple felonies under oath during her testimony Monday to the State Board of Elections. She may eventually face charges, but Freeman said people "who accept responsibility early on and cooperate generally fare better over the long haul."
Britt testified that she collected dozens of absentee ballots, forged her mother's signature with her permission and backdated witnessing signatures on absentee ballots. All carry potential charges, and Britt testified to them voluntarily, without an attorney in the room for her.
"I'm sure, like any cooperating person ... there is some hope at the end that her cooperation will be taken into consideration," Freeman said.
