Cost of Legal Challenge May Be Prohibitive For Kurita

The Associated Press speaks to Kurita attorney, former Senator Bob Rochelle:

Rochelle said any legal challenge would likely be based on due process grounds. He said Kurita didn’t have the power to subpoena witnesses at the hearing, and the case did not have to follow rules of evidence used in courts.

“The allegation would be that the hearing was a facade, and that she was entitled to a fair hearing,” Rochelle said.

But the cost of an appeal in federal court could play a large role in whether Kurita decides to take that route, he said.

“It’s a difficult and an expensive situation,” Rochelle said.
