Trial set for a former New Mexico lawmaker accused of racketeering and money laundering

The corruption trial for Sheryl Williams Stapleton, a former high-ranking Democratic state legislator and Albuquerque public school administrator, has been scheduled to commence on January 2, 2024, according to court records.

Williams Stapleton faces 28 charges, including racketeering, money laundering, fraud, bribery, and other allegations that came to light in 2021.

The state attorney general’s office informed the Santa Fe New Mexican that delays in the trial were caused by changes in judge assignments, as three judges recused themselves from the case.

Both defense attorneys and prosecutors also requested additional time to review documents pertaining to the case, the Associated Press reported.
