Lawyer On The Lam For Overbilling Gets Updates Via Twitter

William Lester is currently believed to be in Central America, running from claims that he billed West Virginia for more than $600,000 in legal fees for work he did not perform. Lester did not show up for his arraignment last summer, but he is following an assistant prosecutor on Twitter. In fact, Lester was among the first people to follow Assistant Kanawha County prosecutor Fred Giggenbach when he joined the social media platform earlier this month. “My Man Fred!” Lester wrote to him. “Welcome to Twitter. Send my Best to All!” “Maybe we can tweet him a plea deal,” Giggenbach told the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
