From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:
Three investigators and dozens of former campaign operatives are on the witness list for a preliminary hearing tomorrow in a criminal case against 12 state House Democratic employees and elected officials accused in a corruption scandal.
In all, state prosecutors have summoned two dozen witnesses for the hearing that begins Tuesday at the Dauphin County Courthouse. Testimony is expected to last more than a week.
Defendants have the option of waiving the preliminary hearing, but so far only two of the 12 have done so. Mike Manzo, former chief of staff to House Majority leader Bill DeWeese, and his wife, Rachel, waived their hearings.
