Gage Trial--Motion for Immunity worked

Wow. Nice job Gage attorneys. The motion to compel a grant of immunity worked.

The Review-Journal reports:
U.S. District Judge Justin Quackenbush ordered the U.S. attorney's office to grant immunity to Dr. Mark Kabins by Friday or he will dismiss the fraud case against Gage.

Natalie Collins, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office, and Thomas Pitaro, Gage's attorney, declined to comment on Quackenbush's decision.

"Dr. Kabins is pleased that the court provided him with the same protection provided to Dr. (Benjamin) Venger and Dr. (John) Thalgott," said Kabins' attorney, David Chesnoff.

While I am certainly not familiar with criminal motion practice, this motion to compel immunity felt like a long shot. Well done Gage attorneys.
