Former Governor Arch
Moore's
hearing to reinstate his law license has been
postponed.
A potential witness Nancy Hill brought
with her to court this week federal
investigation documents that have until this
time been sealed.
Members of a three-member panel
determined that the papers should not be
submitted into evidence in their current form
because they name too many people that
have not been charged. Panel members say
those people deserve to have their rights
protected.
Moore pled guilty to five
federal corruption charges, serving time in a federal correctional facility.
Moore is still popular among many West Virginians, but 11 of the charges have never been made public. Moore's lawyers did not want the information released to the public, or used in the reinstatement hearing. They wanted a "stipulation" to exclude information from the 120-page document.
The attorney's are apparently asking the documents be resealed or destroyed.
