Gage--Interesting Motion for Immunity

Attorneys for Noel Gage took an interesting legal tact yesterday, when they filed a motion to compel the government to grant immunity to a medical physician in order to get him to testify.

The Review-Journal reports:

Personal injury lawyer Noel Gage is trying to force federal prosecutors to grant limited immunity to a witness who has made statements that could benefit him in his ongoing fraud case.

In a motion filed Monday, Gage asked Senior U.S. District Judge Justin Quackenbush for an order compelling the government to grant immunity to spine surgeon Mark Kabins.

"This motion is made on the basis that the denial of immunity to Dr. Kabins will distort the judicial fact-finding process and will deny Mr. Gage a fair trial," the defendant's attorneys wrote.

Fascinating legal contortionism. A motion to compel the government to grant immunity. The Gage trial is still the best show in town.
