Fall River city councilor Pam Laliberte was back in court today on charges she harassed the wife of a former lover and intimidated witnesses in the police investigation.
She was formally arraigned on the charges today with another court date set for March 16; at which time the defense is expected to again file a motion to dismiss the witness intimidation charges based on what they say is a lack of probable cause and with the support of the victims. A similar motion was denied last month as Laliberte had yet to be arraigned and the case was not officially yet before the court.
FRCMedia legal analyst Steven Sabra of Sabra Law says the delays, in this case, are unusual, and because Laliberte is a public figure, both sides feel the need to press on.
