Lawyers Seek Delay For Lawson Trial
Defense lawyers for road contractor Leonard Lawson and Lawson aide, Brian Billings, filed motions Thursday saying they plan to file several motions, including motions to dismiss charges against them based on prosecutorial misconduct. The lawyers say the motions need to be heard prior to the November 12th trial.
Howard Mann, lawyer for former Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert, says he will likely file a motion also asking for a delay. The three are accused of tampering with the bidding process for $130-million of state road contracts in 2006 and 2007.
