Former Broome County District Attorney Steve Cornwell pleaded not guilty Tuesday morning to a slew of charges, including corruption and larceny.
Current District Attorney Mike Korchak laid out the indictments, alleging that his predecessor filed vouchers to county government that intentionally included false information in order to receive money. Korchak said the money was government cash that was misappropriated. While Korchak didn't specify an amount, other than to say it exceeds $3,000, which led to a third-degree grand larceny charge.
