No Delay in Alabama Gambling Trial: Allegedly Bought And Sold Votes

Nine of the 11 defendants wanted a delay because they said they needed more time to review taped phone calls and 200,000 pages of documents turned over by the prosecution. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson declined to grant a delay during a hearing Tuesday in Montgomery. But he said he will reconsider the request in late February or early March to see what progress the defendants are making.
