Sen. Craig Loses Appeal in Airport-Sex Case
议员克雷格机场不检点案败诉
Idaho Sen. Larry Craig has lost his latest attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in a Minneapolis airport men's room sex sting.
爱达荷州参议员拉里克雷格试图申请撤销对其在明尼科波利斯机场男洗手间的不检点行为的定罪终告失败。
A three-judge panel of the Minnesota Court of Appeals on Tuesday rejected the Republican's bid to toss out his disorderly conduct conviction.
周二，一个有三名法官组成的明尼苏达州复议庭小组驳回了民主党人克雷格希望撤销早先对其乱性行为的定罪申诉。
Mr. Craig was arrested in June 2007 in a Minneapolis airport bathroom stall by an undercover officer who said the senator solicited sex. He pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor and paid a fine, but changed his mind after word of his arrest became public.
2007年6月的一天，克雷格先生在明尼科波利斯机场洗手间里被一名便衣警察抓获，该警察说克雷格议员试图和他发生性关系[em51] 。克雷格随后认罪并支付了罚金，但这一消息公布后，他改变了想法。
Mr. Craig insisted he was innocent, but the case effectively ended his political career.
克雷格先生一直声称自己是清白的，但这一事件铁定终结了他的政治生涯。
Mr. Craig's attorney argued before the appeals court this September that there was insufficient evidence for any judge to find him guilty. Prosecutors said his guilty plea should stand.
复议前，克雷格先生的辩护律师曾在今年9月据理力争说现有证据不足以成为任何法官对被告有罪认定的依据。但公诉方称应该维持原判。
P.S：画线部分的翻译我不敢确定，太雷了，按我的理解，那这个议员是同性恋不成？[em51] 望高手指点~~~
