High Court to Hear New Pietranton Case
The West Virginia High Court agreed 3-1 to hear Pietranton’s appeal challenging a Hancock County Circuit Court order annulling his license to practice law. The decision followed prior disputes over alleged fraud in a 1949 damages case, with Judge Rodgers commenting on the evidence. The court also weighed a Republican State Executive Committee membership contest and rejected several other appeals.
