The defense for Brooke Hale is demanding District Attorney General Lisa Zavogiannis be barred from prosecuting her case, saying prosecutors have tried to intimidate her estranged husband to lie in court so they can convict her of his attempted murder.“Brooke Hale is of the opinion she cannot receive a fair trial from the 31st District Attorney’s office due to it encouraging Mike Hale to commit perjury,” said attorney Larry Bryant in asking the court to remove Zavogiannis from the case.At issue is Mr. Hale’s changing story in connection with his stabbing in the parking lot of the VFW this past summer. Local businessman Jack Redmon has been charged with attempted murder for stabbing Mr. Hale twice after the men exchanged threats for days.Prosecutors say Redmon and Hale’s estranged wife (Brooke Hale) showed up on a motorcycle and Redmon pulled a knife and stabbed the victim. They also say Mrs. Hale hit her estranged husband with a motorcycle helmet and provoked the attack.
