Top Aide of Sharp Refuses Testimony In Stock Fraud Case
Dallas financier Frank Sharp and his aide Joseph W. Novotny faced civil stock fraud allegations tied to enriching politicians and shaping banking legislation.

Defense lawyers blasted the witness schedule as politically motivated and argued for broader immunity. Judge Sarah T. Hughes overruled a dismissal motion as the case moved forward.
