Court hears arguments in Terrill's bankruptcy case

By M. Scott Carter

Asked by Mashburn if any part of the $11,301 was ever repaid, Terrill said he "didn't know the answer to that."

Terrill also discounted a check written by the campaign back to his personal account which listed the notation "partial loan repayment."

"This is the first time I've seen those checks," he said. "My guess is that they were a reimbursement" adding later, that he "wasn't sure" what the notation meant.

Cross-examined by his own attorney, Terrill said there were errors on his reports and added that he was "paranoid" during his first race.

"During that first campaign you're paranoid that you're going to get something wrong," he said.

He said any funds which came out of his campaign account would "have been used for campaign purposes."

Mashburn, however, wasn't satisfied.

"It's clear to anyone looking at the report that loans were made to the campaign," Mashburn said. "And they have been consistently reported. So, when the bankruptcy was filed, the issue should have come up. All of this should have been reported."

Terrill, Mashburn said, "has an explanation for everything except for those items where we have documents. It just doesn't make sense. He was in control of all those accounts, and now, he continues not to call them loans because he doesn't want to repay them."

West countered saying Terrill never loaned money to his campaign "with the intention of having it paid back.

"All of these occurred one year before his bankruptcy filing," West said. "They were done at a time when Mr. Terrill was solvent."

Terrill and his wife filed their Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition Oct. 14, 2005, less than a year after he was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

This summer, the Terrills' bankruptcy was reopened Aug. 7 by Weaver after stories surfaced in an Hispanic newspaper alleged irregularities between Terrill's bankruptcy petition and his state campaign filings.

A ruling in the case is expected within the next few weeks.

Terrill, who serves as chair of the House of Representatives' Revenue and Taxation Committee, faces Democrat Troy Green in the November general election.
