| Is The Criminal Case Against Missouri Governor Eric Greitens About To Be Dismissed? |
| 2018-04-16 |
| Another hearing was held today in the criminal case pending against Missouri’s Governor, Eric Greitens. As detailed previously here and here, Governor Greitens is charged with Felony Invasion of Privacy for allegedly photographing his mistress in a state of undress and threatening to publish it if she told anyone about their affair. While the Governor has acknowledged the affair (which occurred prior to his election), he has steadfastly denied any threat or attempt to blackmail the woman. Last week, Greitens’ defense counsel filed a Motion to Compel and for Sanctions in the criminal matter upon the revelation that the prosecution’s investigator had failed to disclose he had taken notes when he interviewed the woman at the center of the allegations. The defense contended that the prosecution withheld that evidence, as well as other evidence, including a video of that interview. ...Judge Rex Burlison has given the parties until 12:00 Noon on Wednesday to file any supplemental pleadings on the pending Motion, which includes the request that the case be dismissed altogether, in light of the alleged misconduct on the part of the prosecution. He is expected to rule Thursday. |
