In Idaho Sen. Larry Craig’s continuing court fight to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport restroom-sex sting in Minnesota, a new motion has been filed today by the prosecution. It’s a “motion for enlarged brief,” which in this case means the respondents want to file a brief to the Minnesota Court of Appeals exceeding the current length limit of 15,500 words. The reasons listed in the motion include:
“1 – Respondent is unable to address all pertinent issues within the current length restraints. 2 - The variety of novel issues presented by Amici Curiae’s brief are outside of the scope of the Appellant’s principal arguments. 3 – Respondent’s counsel has made honest efforts to confine its brief within the limitations prescribed by the Minnesota Rules of Appellate Procedure, but is unable to do so while presenting the Court with the information necessary to make an informed decision.”
Although just filed and posted today, the “motion for enlarged brief” was dated Feb. 14th, Valentine’s Day.
