A new hearing date has been set in the corruption case of former Arkansas state Sen. Jon Woods, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
Woods and his two co-defendants, Oren Paris III and Randell Shelton Jr., are accused in an alleged kickback scheme. The federal court docket cited by the newspaper showed Woods' hearing will take place 9 a.m. Dec. 14.
A court order issued Friday said the hearing would deal with 79 recently discovered, covertly recorded audio files taken by former Arkansas state Rep. Micah Neal, the newspaper reported.
