LOS ANGELES—A federal judge has dismissed the last campaign finance charge against Los Angeles attorney Pierce O'Donnell, who faced three felony counts of campaign finance irregularities.
Judge S. James Otero signed an order prepared by both prosecutors and defense attorneys Monday. The order allows prosecutors to charge O'Donnell again, pending an appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
After the judge threw out two other charges against O'Donnell earlier this month, prosecutors decided to appeal.
Prosecutors had accused O'Donnell of providing $26,000 in campaign contributions through employees of his law firm to then-Sen. John Edwards' campaign for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination.
