{Clay, West Virginia}...During a preliminary hearing Tuesday, Clay County Magistrate Jeff Boggs found probable cause to send the case against former West Virginia Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Hiram Lewis to the grand jury. Lewis, a West Virginia lawyer, has been charged with malicious wounding and wanton endangerment after he allegedly shot Stephen Bogart in the leg last week at his home on Elk River Road near Procious. Lewis maintains the shooting was in self-defense. Boggs reduced Lewis' bail to $70,000. The grand jury is expected to meet in Clay County in July. The state Supreme Court on Tuesday announced an August 7th hearing for Lewis in a case brought by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
