OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Prosecutors are seeking to remove defense lawyers representing a former doctor accused of killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine filed a motion Wednesday against attorneys for Anthony Garcia, who is charged with first-degree murder. He's asking the court to prohibit Chicago attorneys Alison Motta, Robert Motta Senior and Robert Motta Junior from practicing law during their time in Nebraska.
Kleine claims Alison Motta violated a court order when she told reporters DNA evidence exonerated her client. Kleine says those statements are false.
Garcia is charged in the 2008 deaths of Thomas Hunter, the son of Creighton University pathologist William Hunter, and Shirlee Sherman, the family's housekeeper. He's also charged in the 2013 deaths of Creighton pathologist Roger Brumback and his wife.
