Konick replied that he would answer in general terms. “Frankly, that’s all I’m permitted to do,” he said, explaining that Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne, who presided in the Kid well trial, had placed a “gag” order on all attorneys involved in the case.
“No, that is not a fact,” stated Konick with no further preamble, adding that most of the audience had probably heard the same rumors, “it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be running for commonwealth’s attorney if that were true. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be practicing law in the state of Virginia if that were true.”
Relating a brief outline of what happened on November 9, Konick noted first that he had been retained by the Kidwells in a civil matter. “I went to their home at their request after the incident occurred. The State Police asked if I would request the Kidwells to turn over the weapon. I got the weapon and I turned it over to the State Police.”
Konick said that subsequently, certain questions were raised. “The questions were thoroughly investigated and the matter was resolved.” He added that “what I’ve said is pretty much generally known” and therefore, not covered by Judge Horne’s “gag” order. In addition to constraints resulting from the court order, “some of the details are protected by attorney/elient privilege,” Konick said. “But you’re free to ask Mr. and Mrs. Kidwell (in the audience for Wednesday’s forum along with Patricia Saltonstall) and they’re free to answer you,” Konick concluded.
