Move To Quash Charge Seen In Hunter's Case
Former State Attorney Jesse W. Hunter seeks to have his federal trial on a civil rights denial charge moved from Tampa to Ocala. His lawyers also pursue a motion to quash the indictment, arguing for dismissal regardless of venue. Hunter is accused of keeping David Reese in jail for 19 months after Reese was acquitted as an accessory in a white man’s murder, a case linked to the Groveland affair era prosecutions.
