Ask and ye shall receive. Jacksonville Rep. Reggie Fullwood wanted a “bill of particulars,” compelling federal prosecutors to lay out the list of who was defrauded in his case. “The Defendant has been made to understand the ‘another’ at issue is not the various contributors whose contributions may have been converted to Fullwood’s personal use.
