Omega Penalosa Paulite, the alleged co-conspirator with former Rep. Nathan Cooper, R-Cape Girardeau, in an immigration fraud scheme, has new attorneys.
Ms. Paulite, whom the court approved for federal public defender services, suddenly has two lawyers from one of the most powerful law firms in the nation representing her.
Documents filed today in U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri indicate Gabriel E. Gore and James R. Wyrsch of St. Louis-based Bryan Cave, have signed on as her attorneys.
Someone certainly appears to be looking out after Ms. Paulite.
An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 20.
Cooper, pleaded guilty earlier this month and will be sentenced in October. He resigned his position in the Missouri House of Representatives.
