Those lawyers are scheduled to ask a U.S. District Court judge today to lift an order preventing Daniel Biechele from being questioned in a civil lawsuit. Biechele set off the pyrotechnics inside a West Warwick nightclub on February 20, 2003 that sparked the fire. He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and is serving a four-year prison sentence. -- The Associated Press A judge previously decided Biechele didn't have to undergo questioning in the civil lawsuit. At the time, Biechele's criminal case was ongoing and he had a right against self-incrimination. Now that the criminal case is over, those lawyers want the protection lifted. Biechele's lawyer has warned his client could still face federal prosecution and shouldn't talk. Posted by Kate Bramson CommentsLM | August 1, 2007 9:49 AM link Post a commentPlease be civil.
