(Tacoma, WA) -- Testimony continues in the federal trial of Washington State Auditor Troy Kelley. An employee of Kelley's former real-estate services firm, Jason JeRue, testified yesterday that a distressed Kelley called him one day and directed JeRue to start writing refund checks to homeowners. Prosecutors are alleging that Kelley pocketed about three-million dollars in fees he was supposed to refund homeowners. Kelley's attorneys argue that their client was entitled to keep the money.
