Bid-Rigging Trial Set
KENTUCKY....
U.S. District Court Judge Karl Forester has ruled the trial of former Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert and road contractor Leonard Lawson will start on January 11th. Despite an attempt by Nighbert's attorneys to have it delayed or have him tried separately, Forester says attorneys have had adequate time to prepare for the trial and further delays would place significant impact on the court's calendar. Forester also denied Nighbert's request to be tried separately.
