Attorneys for Illinois’ 9th Congressional District candidate Kat Abughazaleh and her five co-defendants sought a spring trial date during a Wednesday morning status hearing at the Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse. Judge April Perry (Communication ’00, Pritzker ’03) did not set a specific trial date, but the defense counsel agreed to confer and move toward setting a court date in the spring. The attorneys pushed for a date as early as May and discussed a trial length of seven days. Additionally, the defense attorneys wrote that the indictment fails to describe a sufficient relationship between those charged to qualify them as part of a conspiracy, nor do the allegations say when the conspiracy began and ended.
