After extensive preliminary hearings, former Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher has been ordered to stand trial on several felony counts--including embezzlement, perjury, accepting a bribe, filing a false tax return and keeping a false record of his charity organization.
Additionally, Mr. Fisher's former assistant, Opal Ellis, as well as Mr. Fisher's charitable foundation, called the Fisher Foundation, were also ordered to stand trial on all counts against them.
The ruling was issued last week by Oklahoma County Special Judge Fred Doak after hearing evidence over 11 months in eight different cases concerning Mr. Fisher, Ms. Ellis and the Fisher Foundation.
