Lawyer in Hoepel case faces potential district court actions
In Chomond Virginia Judge Pollard pressed for further participation by Jesse C. Duke an attorney linked to Rep John W Hoepel California and his son Charles. The court delayed ruling on the removal to Washington of jail sentences and denied the request to grant freedom during a habeas corpus hearing. The case centers on charges tied to the arrest last Saturday. Duke admitted he had been practicing before the district court of Washington though not qualified to before that court. Judge Parker from the Fourth Circuit will determine if he will hear the Hoepel appeal from Judge Pollard’s denial of habeas freedom while awaiting an associate court in Newport News.
