ABC News on the Luther Ricks Case

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

ABC News has a longish piece on Luther and Meredith Ricks, the Lima, Ohio couple from whom the federal government is trying to seize $400,000.

The piece quotes one-time Agitator guest blogger Bryan Westhoff, whose Chicago firm is representing Ricks pro bono, and the always terrific Institute for Justice. If I may boast a bit, both first learned of the case through the site you’re reading.

    “In interviewing the suspect that survived [Diondrake L. Sims II, who pleaded guilty to burglary in February], in his statement, he said that they went there because [Ricks] has a lot of money and that he sold drugs.”

    Huh, the missed the end of the quote. It ends with “after we agreed to reduce his charges in exchange for his [false] testimony.”
