Environment - More on: Wabash Environmental trial in federal court concludes
Here is a list of a number of earlier ILB entries on the trial of Derrik Hagerman and his company, Wabash Environmental Technologies LLC, for violations of the Clean Water Act. The most recent is dated May 25th.
Today the Terre Haute Tribune-Star reports:
Sentencing for a Terre Haute businessman convicted in May of fraud in violating the federal Clean Water Act has been rescheduled for Oct. 23 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana in Indianapolis.Derrik Hagerman, 53, president and owner of Wabash Environmental Technologies LLC, had been scheduled for sentencing Thursday.
Hagerman’s defense attorneys, William E. Marsh and James C. McKinley, withdrew their representation of Hagerman on July 31, according to court documents, but no reason for the withdrawal was given.
The defendant now is represented by Steven L. Blakely of Danville, Ill.
At the request of Hagerman’s attorney, Judge David F. Hamilton granted a motion to continue the sentencing hearing. Hagerman is objecting to a pre-sentence investigation report. Such reports contain information about a defendant’s past and are used by a judge to determine the appropriate sentence.
