BRIDGET KELLY

A year removed from the Supreme Court’s tossing of her conviction in New Jersey's ‘Bridgegate’ case, Bridget Kelly is seeking to resurrect her political career.

The justices announced they would hear the case in the fall involving Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni that came to be known as Bridgegate. Her lawyer, Michael Critchley, told NJ.com that he had tears in his eyes on Friday when he told her of the court's decision. Attorneys said in asking the Supreme Court to take the case that the implication of the appeals court's decision was "astounding and grave." The court's decision came despite the U.S. solicitor general's recommending that the court not hear the appeal"Further review is not warranted," the solicitor general's brief to the court said. Kelly was set to report to prison on July 10, though it's unclear whether the high court's decision would affect that.
