Va. Mayor Pleads Not Guilty to Fraud

By SUE LINDSEY Associated Press Writer

ROANOKE, Va. — The mayor of Lynchburg pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal charges of stealing from a church charity to pay his debts and taking money from Social Security recipients.

Carl B. Hutcherson Jr., 61, remains free and said after his arraignment: "I'm looking forward to my day in court."

A seven-count indictment issued Dec. 1 accuses Hutcherson of fraud, lying to federal and bank officials and obstruction of justice.

Hutcherson has temporarily stepped down as pastor of Trinity United Methodist Church.

Most of the $34,650 raised for the church charity had been donated by Jerry Falwell Ministries, which is based in Lynchburg. The Rev. Jerry Falwell had been called to testify before the grand jury in February.

3. More Republican Family Values(TM)
Remember, it's liberal values like sex and tolerance that are sending us down the road to sin

5. Lynchburg, Va is the epicenter for the fake family values crowd
Family values my ass, Lynchburg is the most corrupt cesspool of slimeballs in the country.
