Leggett sexual harassment trial set despite surgery
A Montgomery County Circuit Court will proceed with Anne Renee Colbert's $41 million suit against Council member Isiah Leggett, despite his recent quadruple bypass. Judge Weinstein declined to delay, though Leggett, 46, expects to miss much of the trial after Dec. 13 surgery and Dec. 19 discharge, with a month more to recuperate. Colbert, a former Leggett aide, alleges a coercive sexual relationship from 1987 to 1989 in exchange for job security and advancement.
