Judge Grants Sypher Trial Delay
KENTUCKY....
A U.S. District Judge has ordered the extortion trial against Karen Cunagin Sypher be delayed, moving it from June 1st to July 26th. Sypher has been charged with trying to extort $10 million from University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino and lying to the FBI. Defense attorneys and prosecutors agreed to the delay after Sypher's attorneys requested additional time to review evidence. A pending request to move the trial out of Louisville will not be affected.
