Lawyer reflects on appeal timing after district judge ruling
The attorney general's office will present to the General Assembly before deciding to pursue an appeal. The state has 30 days to decide. Andy Vanore said the case will likely be heard next spring if the state appeals. Tilghman will continue practicing law and does not expect an appeal to affect his potential judgeship. He maintained the district ruling was correct and noted voters may choose him by party rather than personal familiarity.
