Courts - Still more on: Kentucky fen-phen lawyers ordered to jail

Updating yesterday's ILB entry, Andrew Wolfson of the Louisville Courier Journal reports today in a story headed "Judge sets hearing for 3 diet-drug lawyers he jailed, orders complete financial statements", that begins:

The three lawyers who were jailed Friday pending their criminal trial on fraud charges in the fen-phen diet-drug case have been granted a hearing that could lead to their release.

Citing information that wasn't available last week, U.S. District Judge William O. Bertelsman yesterday granted the three a hearing next Tuesday in Covington, Ky. The judge didn't say what the new information is.
