Boonville —
An ex-Boonville priest’s assertion that he personally filed motions for a change of venue and judge in his pending court case is “fatuous,” a document filed by the prosecution states.
The state’s dismissal motion claims that Howard’s filings were made “three days after arraignment, after the defendant had met with several local attorneys, and therefore, the court should find that the allegation that the motions are filed in pro se is fatuous.”
Webster’s New World Dictionary defines fatuous as “complacently stupid; foolish.”
A hearing on the state’s dismissal has been set for 1:30 p.m. Monday in the 18th Circuit Court for Cooper County.
