Walkergate: Three Strikes And Yer Out!

During the course of her trial, Kelly Rindfleisch and her attorney, Franklyn Gimbel, have tried every trick they could think of to delay her trial.

They tried to appeal on the venue. This was denied.

They tried to appeal with universal immunity. Again, this was denied.

Undaunted and/or desperate, they tried to appeal for a third time. This time, there argument was on whether the evidence in the form of all of her emails should be denied.

And for the third time, they were denied.

The Appellate Court ruled that they did not show good cause for why her case, already eight months old, should be further delayed.

It should be noted that while the Appellate Court has denied her motion for now, the State still has to respond by October 1 and the court hopes to rule by October 15, the date her trial is supposed to start.

Regardless of whatever deal she may or may not have cut with Walker's people, she must be feeling pretty damned scared right about now.

I would also like to see some sort of report on how her legal bills are being paid and who is paying them. Given his disregard for the law, how do we know that it's not Walker illegally footing the bill with his legal defense fund?

    1. Also, coincidence that Russell and Rindfleisch have the same judge?

    2. I believe Russell has requested to change Judges three times (the max allowed under the law), kind of three strikes & your stuck with the last judge that you get. He's also on his fifth lawyer to represent him.

  3. I think your question of who is paying for the rather pricy Frank Gimble is a good one. Maybe Walker's criminal defense fund?
