Josh Duggar’s Lawyers To Fight Charges “Aggressively”

USA Today reports:

On Monday, Duggar’s attorneys said in a joint statement that they “intend to defend this case aggressively and thoroughly.”

“In this country, no one can stop prosecutors from charging a crime. But when you’re accused, you can fight back in the courtroom – and that is exactly what Josh intends to do,” read the statement from attorneys Justin Gelfand, Travis Story and Greg Payne.

Charlie Robbins, a public affairs officer for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Arkansas, told USA TODAY that the government has requested Duggar remain in jail. Duggar is currently in custody at the Washington County Sheriff’s office in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
