Third time the charm? Perry files another motion to have indictments quashed
Attorneys for former Gov. Rick Perry filed a third motion before the judge in his coercion case seeking to get the indictment tossed.
Thus far, Judge Bert Richardson has denied the attempts, but in his most recent ruling, he found the indictment was flawed because it lacked sufficient details about the charges against Perry. The special prosecutor can amend the indictment and shore it up by adding more specifics.

The motion to quash the indictment states that the governor is being prosecuted for exercising his constitutional authority and that the indictments don’t lay out sufficient detail to allow Perry to prepare a defense to the charge.
