Starcher recuses himself from Massey case
Justice suggests colleague Benjamin do the same
West Virginia Supreme Court Justice Larry Starcher recused himself Friday afternoon from participating in any more proceedings about the Boone County verdict for Harman Mining and Hugh Caperton, now worth $76.3 million, against Massey Coal and five of its subsidiaries.
On March 12, the Supreme Court will hold a hearing to reconsider its 3-2 ruling, released on Nov. 21, overturning that verdict.
Starcher filed an 11-page document stating that he removed himself from the case because people have attacked him for making negative statements about Massey Energy and Don Blankenship, the company's CEO.
