September 1, 2010 by San Quentin News Staff

LOS ANGELES – A California state senator is facing eight felony counts, including living outside the district he was elected to serve.
Sen. Roderick Wright, a Democrat, was indicted Sept. 16. He pleaded not guilty and was ordered to return to court Oct. 8, and was freed on $45,000 bail. He is charged with five counts of voter fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of filing a false declaration of candidacy.
Conviction could mean up to 100 months in prison. Prosecutors said he claimed to live in Inglewood but actually resided in Baldwin Hill.
