Former state Treasurer Tim Cahill will not be retried by Attorney General Martha Coakley for allegedly misusing a state lottery ad campaign for his own benefit. Instead, Cahill will pay a $100,000 civil fine.

A mistrial was declared in the corruption case against Cahill in last December after the jury deadlocked on the charges stemming from state lottery ads that ran during Cahill's campaign for governor in 2010.

The jury acquitted Cahill's former chief of staff Scott Campbell, who faced similar charges.

A grand jury indicted Cahill, a GoLocalWorcester MINDSETTER™, in April 2012 following an investigation involving taxpayer-funded state lottery advertisements that his office produced while he was running for Governor.
