Two attorneys for Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart withdrew from his felony case today without explanation, meaning Rinehart now must find a new attorney before he returns to court in February on campaign finance charges.
Both of his attorneys asked for permission to withdraw from the case today when Rinehart made his first appearance before Oklahoma County Judge Jerry Bass.
Rinehart was ordered last month to face trial on conspiracy, money laundering and perjury charges stemming from his campaign for county commissioner in 2004. His former campaign manager and former State Rep. Tim Pope and contributor Ray Pelfrey, Del City businessman, face similar charges.
They are due back in court Feb. 20 at 9 a.m. for another pre-trial conference.
