U.S. Atty Sues Cedar Rapids Judge Over Trial Site
An assistant U.S. attorney filed a mandamus suit in the Eighth Circuit seeking to force Judge Edward J. McManus to try Fort Dodge criminal cases in Fort Dodge, arguing the Cedar Rapids blanket transfer order violates federal procedure. The move delays the Thompson case and prompts responses from McManus and U.S. Attorney Evan Hultman, who call the dispute unusual and refuse to comment while proceedings continue.
