KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Former Jackson County Executive Katheryn Shields, her husband, and four other people pleaded not guilty Thursday to federal mortgage fraud conspiracy charges. They were among 11 defendants who were charged in a grand jury indictment last week. Prosecutors allege the fraud scheme involved the sale of a home owned by Shields and her husband, Philip Cardarella.
Shields filed to run for Kansas City mayor the day after the indictment was announced. She said the charges are part of a political witch hunt. She said she and her husband were simply trying to sell their home, and their signatures were forged on some documents. The trial is set for Feb. 12.
