It’s not clear at this time who will represent Pebble Peach former agri-businessman Scott Salyer in his Federal case. He wants well-known defense attorney john keker, however the government says there’s a conflict of interest for keker. that’s because another man in keker’s office is representing a potential witness against salyer (who faces charges of fraud and racketeering, (in connection with the sales of substandard processed tomatoes and price-fixing)).
salyer’s u.s. district court trial is expected to begin in april.
