Federal attorneys in Lake Station Mayor Keith Soderquist ’s two criminal cases want a protection order for all evidence they share with the defendants. 

According to motions filed Thursday in U.S. District Court, the government’s evidence is sensitive, and prosecutors are asking that it be used by the defendants and their attorneys only for their defense. 

Soderquist and his wife, Deborah Soderquist , are charged with using city and his campaign money for their personal use, including gambling trips. They are also charged in a separate case with acting as accessories after the fact in the alleged crime of Deborah Soderquist ’s daughter, Miranda Brakley, stealing money from the city and with money structuring. Brakley is also charged in that case. 

All three have pleaded not guilty.
