Former State Sen. Raymond Swing filed a 3 page brief with the Fourth District Court of Appeals in support of Sam J. Collins and his son Sam E. Collins who seek a writ of prohibition to halt a retrial on conspiracy and bribery charges. The prior trial ended in a deadlocked jury.

Retrial is scheduled for Jan 10.
