Law Required Kennedy To Be Named

RE: This is the 2nd of a 2-part series by the Idaho Reporter on the Brannon-Kennedy election trial. You can read the first part here .

That means that Brannon had no choice but to include Kennedy in as a defendant in the case. That fact was verified by Coeur d’Alene city attorney Mike Gridley in an interview Friday.  Gridley represented the city in the court case, which wrapped up earlier this week.  Named as a defendant in the case, Gridley said Kennedy had three options: To hire a lawyer for his defense, act as his own lawyer, or to ignore the whole thing and risk a default judgment in Brannon’s favor – though Gridley noted that scenario would be highly unlikely. Still, said Gridley, Kennedy shouldn’t be forced to fork out his own cash to defend his victory in the election. “There were never any allegations that Mike Kennedy did anything wrong or underhanded,” said Gridley.  ”It does seem like it’s not real fair”/ Dustin Hurst , Idaho Reporter.

Question: Judge Charles Hosack should rule on the Brannon-Kennedy election case this week. How do you think he’ll rule?
