"The use of this characterization of the defendant’s alleged personal experiences and writings is incorrect, improper and without justification and has no probative value," Altoona-based defense attorney Thomas Dickey said in a Tuesday court filing. "Defendant believes that this characterization was done so solely for the purpose to prejudice the defendant and put him in a negative light before the public, all in an effort to prejudice any potential jury pool."
