Motions pending in Dibor Roberts case

Via Merrill Roberts, husband of Dibor Roberts, comes word that three motions in the case of the woman assaulted by a Yavapai County, Arizona, sheriff's deputy will be decided on Friday, April 4 at 9am at the Verde Valley Justice Center court house. One motion would send the case back to the grand jury to hear -- live this time -- the testimony of a witness to last summer's altercation. Another motion would dismiss the "resisting arrest" charge. The third would compel the deposition of Deputy Jeff Newnum, who has been ducking the procedure by claiming "victim's rights" under Arizona law.

At this time, Dibor Roberts's trial is set for May 14-16.

Judge Michael Bluff can be contacted at:
