Venue Change In Meigs Trial Is Questioned
Judge Earl Parker of Waverly warned defense principals in the J E D Hartinger conspiracy case to be in court in New Lexington with an alternative writ delaying the trial. The writ, issued by the Perry County Court of Appeals, raises questions about venue and the constitutionality of Section 13428-1 of the General Code as the defense seeks to block Parker from proceeding. A Dec. 1 hearing will address Parker's suitability and the section’s constitutionality with Prosecuting Attorney Dana H. Peoples representing the state.
