Fort Bend County Judge KP George still open to possible pretrial deal: ‘It’s always an option’

At 9 a.m. Thursday morning, Fort Bend County Judge KP George will enter a courtroom, take a seat at the defense table, and witness the start of his criminal trial on money laundering charges. These felony charges stem from George’s indictment last spring by citizens of Fort Bend County, to which he pleaded not guilty.  Prosecutors allege that George used campaign funds for personal expenses, including his home and vehicle. If convicted by a jury of Fort Bend County residents, he could be removed from office and face possible prison time.
