Judicial Nominee Withdraws.

Assistant State’s Attorney Brian Leslie asked Governor M. Jodi Rell to withdraw his nomination for a seat on the Superior Court.  She has consented to his request.

There’s more here, including an assessment of the governor’s selection process.

Leslie’s withdrawal leaves a serious question in its wake:  How did his nomination make it through the Judicial Selection Commission when so many others without a startling stain are rejected?  Did anyone on the commission speak to Dr. Richard Weber or his lawyer, Michael Kogut?
