Abramoff Scandal
A federal jury has yet to reach a verdict in the case against Kevin Ring, a former associate of jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Deliberations began on Monday. A slip-up regarding barred evidence led to calls for a mistrial but the judge handling the case told the jury to ignore the guilty plea of another figure in the scandal.

Prosecutors also say he developed a "corrupt" lobbying scheme whose targets included
Sandia Pueblo of New Mexico
