Injunction hearing in suit brought by the firm of Weibe and Fouser to prevent Canyon County from terminating their contract as the county's public defender. A trial is scheduled for September 21.
According to the Olympian Newspaper, "On a broader basis, the lawsuit aims to determine whether the state spends enough money on public defenders so that indigent people accused of a crime can be fairly represented. A judge is scheduled to hear motions in the case on July 7."
