A Pulaski County judge denied a motion this
morning that would have immediately removed County Clerk Carolyn
Staley from office.
Prosecutor Larry Jegley had asked for the motion, claiming that
Staley missed a 30 day deadline to respond to his request for
removal, so the judge should remove her.
Pulaski County Judge Marion Humphrey denied the motion, saying
it wasn`t appropriate for this case.
Staley has been blamed for widespread problems with voter rolls
and confusion at the polls.
After voters reported problems, Jegley asked for a grand jury,
which recommended in November that Staley be removed. A hearing on
throwing her out of office is set for March 30th.
