A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that prosecutors can use extra video evidence in the case against Dennis Bradley. It’s a legal defeat for the former Bridgeport state senator who is accused of conspiracy and wire fraud charges. Bradley is accused of collecting donations at a campaign launch party in 2018.
