Judge sends 3 fen-phen lawyers off to jail
Melbourne Mills' face went from shock to disbelief yesterday as he and co-defendants Shirley Cunningham Jr. and William Gallion were ordered out of a Covington federal courtroom to jail. Just seconds earlier, U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman granted the three suspended lawyers' request to delay a criminal trial until January but immediately revoked the suspended lawyers' bond. As Bertelsman walked off the bench, Hale Almand Jr., a lawyer for Gallion, began to protest as the courtroom erupted. Bertelsman cut him off. "I told you that's what I was going to do," Bertelsman said as he left the courtroom. Mills, Cunningham and Gallion, who were indicted in June on one count each of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, were being held at the Boone County jail last night and may remain there until the January trial.

Fort Dix plot trial lost in translation - Military News, Army News, opinions, editorials, news from Iraq, photos, ...
CAMDEN, N.J. — A judge is adamant the trial of six men accused of plotting to attack soldiers at Fort Dix take place this year so the high-profile case can be resolved and the suspects, if they are not guilty, can get on with their lives. The lawyers for the men say they cannot move so fast. The reason: The government's voluminous evidence, much of which must be translated from Arabic and Albanian. In court Friday, U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler pushed back the start date of the trial from Oct. 9 to Nov. 5 and told defense lawyers he would authorize spending for more translators. Defense lawyers had asked that the trial be delayed until at least May 2008. The six men — all foreign-born and in their 20s — were arrested in May and accused of plotting a raid on the New Jersey military installation.
