New News: US Justice Watch On Line Paper in S.Central KY reporting on local legal news

By Michael Stevens

ADVERTISEMENTS

I just discovered this interesting blog out of southcentral Kentucky. US Justice Watch does not have that many stories yet, nor do they have an RSS feed, but they seem to be putting out a lot of stories on the Judge Maricle case.

Here are a few links of recent stories:

Bond Denied Again in Judge Maricles Criminal Indictment

United States Magistrate Judge Robert E. Weir issued a findings statement for the continued detention of Senior Judge Cletus Maricle by federal authorities.

Maricle and seven other Clay County public officials were indicted with vote buying, voter fraud, Racketeering, and obstruction of justice by a Federal Grand Jury on March 3, 2009. Maricle was arrested on March 19, 2009 and the indictments were then unsealed.

Magistrate Judge Weir found that Federal Prosecutors established beyond a preponderance of evidence that the criminal case against Maricle involved a serious risk that Maricle would flee or attempt to engage in further acts to obstruct justice.

Testimony by FBI SA Briggs at Maricle's Detention Hearing

*SA Briggs testified that over 100 witnesses are involved in the investigation with over 30 audio recordings confirmed to contain content showing guilt of Maricle. Briggs went on to point out anomalies in the Clay County absentee vote totals during the time period the indictments have stated which are corroborated with admissions and plea statements before the Federal District Court by at least one already convicted defendant. * * * *
