To prepare for an evidence hearing next week, a federal judge has allowed convicted real estate fraudster Rick Koerber to spend hours on the phone with his attorneys from behind bars.
But this special privilege has apparently backfired. Koerber’s phone use has made him a target at the Weber County jail, his attorneys recently wrote in court papers, and they’ve been unable to have meaningful time to prepare.
They're asking for the hearing to be delayed — the latest request for more time in a federal prosecution that has stretched on for the last decade.
