Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki will not appear before the grand jury, which is expected to hear the Attorney General's case against him today.  His lawyer Kent Robison said they made the decision not to appear because they don't know what specific charges are being sought.

Robison said if Krolicki is indicted the Attorney General's Office has agreed to issue a summons for him to appear in court to face the charges rather than arresting him and booking him in jail.

"We're of the ham sandwich mentality here," Robison said, meaning they fully expect an indictment.

Krolicki said state prosecutors are trying to indict him on charges of violating laws governing the handling of public money during his management of the state’s college savings plan while he was state treasurer.
