The attorneys representing accused serial killer Anthony Garcia have filed a motion naming new local counsel to work with them in the case.



Attorneys Jeremy C. Jorgenson, David J. Reed, and James Owen are listed in the motion. They are seeking to work with Robert and Alison Motta.



The Mottas are licensed to practice in Illinois, but not Nebraska, and must have local attorneys working with them as they represent Garcia.



Wednesday, the Mottas co-counsel Dan Stockmann and Jeff Leuschen filed a motion to withdraw from the case. Stockmann said he wanted to distance himself from "any alleged ethical violations by Motta & Motta."



Judge Gary Randall granted the request and put the Garcia trial on hold.



The judge must now approve the motion naming the new local attorneys.



In 2012, the Nebraska Supreme Court put Jeremy Jorgenson's law license on probation for a year.

According to a document from the court's 'counsel for discipline', Jorgenson was accused of mishandling personal injury cases.

He did not challenge the charges.

Jorgenson received a public reprimand, probation, and a mentor who monitored his actions for a year.



Creighton law professor Richard Mangrum doesn't think Jorgenson's disciplinary record will affect whether Judge Randall will allow him to join as Garcia's counsel.



But does say the judge has several options to choose from, and regardless of which direction he takes, the case will be delayed.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Monday morning.
