Évaluation
A federal judge has narrowed the criminal case against Dalya Attar, the first Orthodox Jewish state senator in Maryland, by dismissing six of eight counts including extortion. The ruling does not exonerate Attar or her codefendants, who still face conspiracy and electronic interception charges. The court's reasoning that the alleged conduct does not fit the federal extortion statute suggests a legal technicality rather than a judgment on the facts. The remaining charges will determine the outcome of this case involving alleged secret surveillance.
