fight on, prince of the widestance goppers! "Larry Craig to File Motion to Withraw Plea Monday By Jeralyn, Section Other Politics Posted on Sun Sep 09, 2007 at 08:03:58 PM EST Tags: Larry Craig (all tags) Larry Craig's lawyer Billy Martin said today he will file papers with the court in Minnesota tomorrow seeking to withdraw Craig's guilty plea. Martin would not disclose the grounds, but said he was not concerned about Craig's political survival. My job is to get him back to where he was before his rights were taken away," Martin said. I'm still thinking, as I've been since August 30th, that the principal ground will be that the plea form (pdf)Craig mailed in did not advise him of his right to counsel. (Video here, about 3 minutes in.) As other grounds, there's the argument that the facts he admitted to don't constitute a crime and in my view, a weaker argument that he was illegally arrested because he was on his way to vote in DC and the Constitution prevents lawmakers from being arrested on their way to a vote.
