A judge has ordered the state attorney in the Ray Sansom case to produce more details about the charges leveled against the former house speaker.

Sansom was indicted for a plan to spend six million state dollars on an airplane hanger for a political contributor. A judge decided the defense needs more information about the charges to prepare its case. The judge ordered State Attorney Willie Meggs to identify the person who wrote the six million dollars into the state budget.

“I don’t know who typed the document. That’s of no consequence anyway. The one who is responsible for the document being typed is the one to be dealt with,” said Meggs.

Meggs has until next Friday to meet the judge’s request. The Sansom trial is scheduled to begin September 29th.
