Speak Up: Delaware auditor’s defense makes motions to dismiss counts against her

Posted

In the recent superseding indictment of Delaware State Auditor Kathy McGuiness, her lawyer argues that the allegations against her are inadequately defined and that a possible trial delay could hurt her political aspirations. In a motion for dismissal of a structuring charge by defense attorney Steve Wood, he maintained that the superseding indictment presented a “new theory underlying the structuring charge (and payments) made that is opaque” and that any supposed offense is not adequately justified by the prosecution.

  • She should have her time in court. Prove her case or not, and face the consequences. But to dismiss because it “hurts her political aspirations” is nothing more than a slap in the face to the people of Delaware. — Lezlie Eustis
  • I’m sure she means that her own actions could hurt her political future. — Cindy Ennis
  • Can’t have the court case interfering with elections. — Steve Durnan
