A Clark County judge is hearing testimony this week on the 2008 conviction of a Vancouver man who tried to hire four men to kill his wife.
Dino Constance is appealing his conviction and accusing Prosecutor Tony Golik, who tried Constance’s case as a deputy prosecutor, of prosecutorial misconduct. He’s also alleging that his defense attorney didn’t adequately represent him.
Constance filed his appeal just weeks before the November election for prosecuting attorney, which pitted Golik against Vancouver Senior Assistant City Attorney Brent Boger. Golik won.
Boger had tried to use Constance’s allegations in the appeal to discredit Golik to voters. Constance, through his Seattle attorney, Neil Fox, accuses Golik of, among other things, not disclosing certain information about witnesses during the trial.
