Friday, January 26, 2007 Poultry Companies Want to Question Oklahoma AG
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Arkansas poultry companies targeted in a lawsuit over water quality in Oklahoma waterways want Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson to be considered a witness for the pending federal trial in Tulsa.
Lawyers for the poultry companies have filed court papers seeking to take a deposition from Edmondson, who is the lead attorney in the case against the 14 companies.
U-S Magistrate Judge Sam Joyner is to address the issue at a hearing in Tulsa on February 15th.
A lawyer for the poultry companies says Edmondson's statements outside of court have put him in the position of being a witness. A spokesman for Edmonson's office says the poultry companies are engaging in gamesmanship and that Edmondson should not be summoned to testify.
