special prosecutor in the donna price case, kristin r. cook, takes down the chief public defender of greenbrier county for embezzlement; The former chief public defender of the 11th Judicial Circuit was among the 50 people indicted by a Greenbrier County Grand Jury this week. Denney William Bostic is accused of embezzling an unspecified amount of funds “placed under his care or management by virtue of his office,” according to an indictment. He is charged with making personal use of a credit card issued to him as chief public defender between March 5, 2010, and Aug. 5, 2011. Although the exact amount of funds Bostic allegedly embezzled is not set forth in the indictment, the document does note it is in excess of $1,000, making the charge a felony. Bostic voluntarily surrendered his West Virginia law license in October 2011 after leaving the Public Defender’s office. As the supporting affidavit for his disbarment remains under seal, it is not clear if the embezzlement alleged in Tuesday’s indictment figured into Bostic’s consent to relinquish his law license. Monroe County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kristin R. Cook presented the case to the Greenbrier Grand Jury. register-herald/local/x765614748/Greenbrier-County/print
