Prosecutors say Leftwich worked with former Republican Rep. Randy Terrill of Moore to secure an $80,000-a-year job at the state Medical Examiner's Office for her in exchange for her promise not seek re-election in 2010 so a Republican colleague of Terrill's could run for her open seat.

Terrill was convicted in October of offering a bribe for withdrawal of candidacy.
