Ben McLaughlin finally gets rid of his "problematic client"

 

Deputy Public Defender Ben McLaughlin, who once described Timothy Ziegler as a "problematic client" finally got rid of him.

Ziegler's jury trial for April 5 was vacated at trial assignment today. It was the usual long morning with livestream on and off in that courtroom as they assigned cases, took pleas and had off the record discussions.

Confirmation of counsel and trial setting is on for April 19. If intetested, you can read about Ziegler's charges, criminal history and why he is out of custody from the previous post.
