A 2nd Judicial District judge
dismissed the case filed against Vigil-Giron in 2009 late Wednesday. Judge Reed
Sheppard ruled she did nothing to cause the delay other than one motion asking

2006.
She and three co-defendants were indicted after an investigation into the
spending of federal voter-education funds. Prosecutor Joseph Campbell says he
will consider appealing the ruling.
