💨 Abstract

Former Purcellville town officials Kwasi Fraser and Carl "Ben" Nett faced court after being charged with felonies related to a $12,000 consulting contract. Former State Senator Dick Black criticized the proceedings, suggesting political motivation. The charges include bid rigging, commercial fraud, and misuse of a police database by Nett. Both defendants plan to challenge the court's involvement and seek to unseal grand jury transcripts; their next hearing is set for September 4.
