New Castle Man Seeks Dismissal Of Federal Charge
Michael L. Trover 41 of 609 E Long Ave faces three counts of making false grand jury declarations in the Affordable Housing of Lawrence County scandal. His attorney argues the indictment fails to specify false statements and that the government has not shown Trover lied. Ratkovich supervised the programs and hired Trover for contract work. A prior grand jury lie count was dismissed and then refiled. Trover seeks dismissal and inspection of all prosecutorial evidence.
