District Attorney fights ruling on fair trial claim in Quay case

He says the case relies on written records showing misuse of public funds by M S Quay and associates at the People's bank, with hundreds of thousands in state money diverted and invested for private gain. The filing argues the petition seeks to halt examination and delay justice, warning such tactics harm the administration of law.
