DENVER—A Washington man who asked for a trial on allegations he threatened a Colorado abortion doctor is asking for a hearing to enter a plea.
The attorney for 70-year-old Donald Hertz said in a federal court filing Tuesday that a plea agreement is in the works. Hertz refused to plead guilty under another proposed deal last month, saying there were things in the plea agreement that were false.
Hertz’s attorney says Hertz was “extremely fatigued” during the last court hearing and had forgotten certain aspects of the plea deal. The attorney also says “minor errors” in the previous agreement were corrected.
Hertz is accused of calling the Boulder Abortion Clinic in Boulder on June 23 and threatening to kill members of Dr. Warren Hern’s family.
A hearing date has not been set.
