This afternoon, Judge Charles Hosack reinstated the city of Coeur d'Alene as a defendant in Jim Brannon's ongoing attempt to overthrow his narrow 2009 Coeur d'Alene City Council election loss to Mike Kennedy. Hosack ruled that all the individual council members, excluding Kennedy, were exempt from the suit. Huckleberries hears that city attorney Mike Haman paused at one point when a Brannon supporter made an outburst during his arguments. But Hosack either didn't hear the outburst or ignored it. Haman then continued. Plaintiff Brannon already has excluded the county from the lawsuit. The case will now continue.
