With solicitation charges against him dropped, Sen. Mike Maroney, R-Marshall, said he is seeking answers and amends from those in Marshall County who prosecuted him.
GLEN DALE For 19 months that coincided with his re-election campaign, Marshall County state Sen. Mike Maroney had a misdemeanor solicitation charge hanging over his head. His trial was delayed several times, and through it all he remained adamant that either the charges would be dropped or he would be found innocent at trial.
The trial never took place, but late last month Maroney was cleared of any wrongdoing when a special prosecutor from Wood County dismissed the case due to lack of evidence.
