Speaker's ex-aide found not guilty in money laundering case


By PHILIP MARCELODecember 16, 2020 GMT
A former campaign aide to Democratic Rhode Island House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello has been cleared of criminal charges stemming from the 2016 campaign.
Jeff Britt, 52, was found not guilty Wednesday of felony money laundering as well as a misdemeanor charge of making a prohibited campaign contribution.
The verdict in the bench trial was handed down by Judge Daniel Procaccini in Kent County Superior Court in Warwick.
Procaccini said in his decision that prosecutors had failed to sufficiently prove Britt was guilty of either charge beyond a reasonable doubt. He also criticized the state’s money laundering statute in his remarks in court, calling it “constitutionally deficient.”

WARWICK, R.I. — As a federal and state prosecutor, he has placed a House speaker, a Central Falls mayor, and three crooked North Providence councilmen behind bars.
But a judge’s rejection of the state’s case against political operative Jeffrey T. Britt is raising the question of whether Attorney General Peter F. Neronha overreached in this case – and if Britt’s high-profile exoneration will undermine the message that the prosecution intended.
