Nighbert Attorneys Seeking Delay
KENTUCKY....
Attorneys for former Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert filed documents Friday arguing that, following a ruling this week from U.S. District Court Judge Karl Forester, they may need an additional 14 days to prepare for a trial. Forester reversed his previous ruling which excluded secretly taped conversations between James Rummage and other key players in the case. Forester ruled earlier this week that some of them can now be heard by a jury. Nighbert’s lawyers are also asking Forester to try Nighbert separately.
