The former officers are now slated to appear in court Sept. 6 for a change of plea hearing, according to an online federal court docket entry dated Friday.
SAN DIEGO - Four former U.S. Navy officers convicted in San Diego of accepting bribes from foreign defense contractor Leonard Glenn"Fat Leonard" Francis are slated to plead guilty to new federal charges later this year, court records indicated Friday.
The entry does not provide any information on what charges former Capts. David Newland, James Dolan, David Lausman and former Cmdr. Mario Herrera might plead to, but the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the U.S. Attorney's Office is expected to move to withdraw their current convictions so they may plead to new misdemeanor charges.
Jurors were unable to reach verdicts against a fifth officer, Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless and prosecutors later dismissed the charges against him. Dozens of other officers, GDMA employees and others have pleaded guilty, including Francis himself, who remains in Venezuela after fleeing San Diego, where he remained on house arrest for several years.
Those claims included allegations that prosecutors withheld statements from a prostitute who told federal agents she did not have sex with Lausman, despite the prosecution alleging she did.
