Judge Kessler to Hear Jeane's Selective Prosecution
Arguments at Monday's Hearing
Greetings:
Last week, Judge Kessler entered an order permitting me to substitute for Preston Burton as Jeane's counsel in the criminal matter and set a status conference for Monday, October 22, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 26A of the federal courthouse in Washington D.C.Subsequently, Judge Kessler entered an order indicating that she would take up Jeane's selective prosecution argument. In essence, Jeane is arguing that as the only one of some eighty-three (83) escort agencies operating in the metro-DC area, the government's decision to prosecute her was based upon political considerations arising before the November 2006 elections.
To support this contention, Jeane will be offering a composite exhibit of statements, news articles and a memo from Monica Goodling which collectively detail the politicization of the Department of Justice in a manner which lends credence to Jeane's argument of selective prosecution. At the conclusion of the argument, Jeane will be asking the Court to issue subpoenas and conduct an evidentiary hearing into these allegations.
I am very curious to find out the details of the memo of Monica Goodling in connection to Ms. Palfrey's case..
