Trial Set For Former College Professor
KENTUCKY....
Fifty-eight year old Paul Prosperino, a former college professor, was arrested in Hazard in October 2009 after UNITE detectives found more than 2,000 pills, cash and 30 loaded firearms in his home. He was indicted on two counts of second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance. Prosperino was set to go to trial on November 1st, but a superseding indictment pushed the trial date back. Thursday, Prosperino’s attorney, Terry Jacobs, waived formal arraignment and entered a not guilty plea to new charges against Prosperino, including second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and trafficking while in possession of a firearm. A pretrial conference is set for December 15th, and a trial is set for January 31st.
