The RJ reports:
Edward Halverson, husband of embattled District Judge Elizabeth Halverson, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges this morning in District Court.
Halverson, 49, was indicted last week on charges of attempting to murder his wife.Authorities said he struck Elizabeth Halverson in the head with a cast iron skillet during a fight at the couples' home.
Elizabeth Halverson spent more than two weeks in the hospital and had more than 100 staples inserted into her head to help heal deep cuts.
Edward Halverson is scheduled to go to trial on Dec. 1.
Too bad Judge Halverson's probably pissed at Evil Ed. Otherwise, she might be able to help him come up with an innovative legal defense, like the ones she used when trying not to get thrown off the bench permanently.
Hey, maybe he could argue that prosecuting him for attempted murder is a violation of the Americans with Disability Act because dealing with Judge Halverson day in and day out made him mentally and emotionally disabled. Hmm . . . might be safer to plead insanity based on the inability to understand his actions. I mean, he did actually marry Judge Halverson. Something's wrong there.
