Former Clay County Circuit Judge To Remain Jailed

Thursday (today), U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Wier sided with prosecutors who argued on Monday that former Clay County Circuit Judge Russell Cletus Maricle tried to influence witnesses and could do it again, if freed. Wier ordered Maricle remain jailed until his May 19th. trial, saying he has no confidence he would protect the judical process, if released. Maricle is charged in federal court in London, along with seven other Clay County officials accused of rigging elections.
