Vic Kohring's attorney, John Henry Browne, is claiming a conflict of interest on Judge John Sedwick's part.

Kohring's Seattle-based attorney filed an appeal Friday, Feb. 1, asking that Kohring's case be dismissed because of "feuding between the former lawmaker and Sedwick's wife when she was a state commissioner under then-Gov. Tony Knowles," according to an Anchorage Press article by Brendan Kelley. What is your opinion of this latest attempt by Kohring to escape jail time?
