In a closing statement to the State Board of Elections, a lawyer for the N.C. Democratic Party said there was no scheme to funnel illegal campaign contributions to former Gov. Mike Easley.

Jim Cooney, an attorney for the party, said that memos from Easley's campaign suggesting such a scheme led to natural questions and allegations. But testimony and evidence showed the scheme didn't exist.

"It didn't happen," Cooney said. "There is no evidence from the way in which the party operated, not a shred of evidence from the way in which the party operated, not a shred of evidence from the way in which things actually occurred, that there was any kind of scheme or plan."
