"Judge denies Kent's request on obstruction charge"

"Judge denies Kent's request on obstruction charge": Mary Flood of The Houston Chronicle has a news update that begins, "U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent on Tuesday failed to get his obstruction of justice charge either dismissed or pulled out into a separate trial. Kent had asked Senior U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson of Florida, who is presiding in the case, to drop the charge that Kent lied to a judicial panel investigating a complaint that Kent abused a female employee. Vinson refused. Kent is still scheduled to be tried starting Monday on six felony charges -- five felony charges of sexual abuse of female employees and one charge of obstructing justice."
