"Wecht judge says he won't step aside; Criticizes defense attorneys and refuses to delay retrial"

"Wecht judge says he won't step aside; Criticizes defense attorneys and refuses to delay retrial": The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today contains an article that begins, "The federal judge presiding in the case against Dr. Cyril H. Wecht yesterday refused to delay a retrial and said he would not recuse himself. In his order, U.S. District Judge Arthur J. Schwab also defended his conduct during the first trial while lambasting defense attorneys for theirs since the jury deadlocked last week and a mistrial was declared."

I have posted online at this link yesterday's ruling of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

And today in The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Jason Cato reports that "Coalition urges end to Wecht case." You can view the group's letter at this link.
