It's been a while since I posted on the felony trial of former Page County sheriff DannyPresgraves. He has been indicted on 22 wide ranging charges in a case that was originally set for trial in March but has been postponed.
The most recent news is that the former sheriff has added a new attorney to his expanding defense team, and, quoting H-burg's DNR newspaper, "This attorney brings some star power." He is former Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore, who has been a candidate for governor, running against Tim Kaine in 2005. Kilgore is a partner at Williams Mullen, the same firm as Presgraves' previous lead attorney, David Barger, who left the law firm in May.
It is newsworthy that a politician with Kilgore's reputation would represent someone charged in such a high profile case. I'll refrain from speculating on what this signifies, in favor of thinking that it is nothing more than taking advantage of a challenging, high-profile case to rebuild his law career.
Duly noted, however, is all the rumor and innuendo on the internets. For previous reports about this, click on the "Sherrif Presgraves" label below.
