Former state Rep. Vic Kohring has suffered another legal setback ahead of his sentencing Thursday.
Story tools
U.S. District Court Judge John Sedwick on Monday denied Kohring's request to interview a member of the jury that convicted him in November on federal bribery charges.
The jury determined that the Wasilla Republican had conspired with executives of an oil field services company, Veco Corp., to push through an oil tax favored by North Slope producers in 2006. Kohring was convicted of bribery, conspiracy and attempted extortion.
One juror has allegedly expressed remorse over the verdicts against Kohring, and Kohring sought court approval to talk to the juror.
But the judge noted in his order Monday that at the time of the verdicts, jury members were individually polled about their decisions.
