The jury in the historic trial of the State of Delaware versus Auditor Kathy McGuiness has declared her guilty on three of five charges.

The verdict was announced shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Friday, July 1, 2022, at the Kent County Courthouse in Dover.

She was found guilty of conflict of interest, structuring, and official misconduct, and not guilty on felony theft and intimidation.

McGuiness was the first sitting statewide Delaware official to stand trial while in office.

She has not resigned and the General Assembly has not found that they have the authority to remove her.

In many districts, there is no D primary, so it is the only race on the ballot in those districts.
