Tennessee state Sen. Katrina Robinson will no longer face 15 of 20 federal charges of fraud and embezzlement, the Commercial Appeal reports. Federal Judge Sheryl Lipman filed a motion to dismiss the charges Sunday, rejecting a defense request to dismiss all charges. Lipman was expected to issue an oral ruling today. The trial then is expected to continue tomorrow with the five remaining charges. Robinson has been accused of misusing $600,000 in federal funding meant for scholarships.
