just another completely normal day here in charlottesville. attorney richard harry appeared before judge moore this morning to withdraw in the washington v fields et al civil suit... because he was never actually retained by any of the defendants

the apparent forgery of the attorney’s signature, perhaps by jason kessler, came to light back in august

judge moore told harry this morning “i’ll let you out of the case,” but he can’t enter the order until it’s signed by jason kessler or elmer woodard, who has apparently not formally withdrawn as counsel in this case. neither kessler nor woodard appeared in court.

harry told the judge the only contact he’s had with anyone at all related to this case was with kolenich, the ohio-based attorney representing kessler in another case. he was told kolenich would be appearing pro hac vice, but there’s no filing to that effect.

asked if he was still representing eight other defendants in the case, harry said “i never was,” and that he’s never had any contact with them.
