5 to be tried early next year in election day tire-slashing (Trial Scheduled Monday--Jan 9, 2006)

Five Democratic campaign operatives charged with felony counts of property damage in the slashing of tires on Republican Party get-out-the-vote vehicles before polls opened Nov. 2 will be tried early next year, under a schedule laid out Monday.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Jean W. DiMotto, who has handled the case, authorized switching the case to Judge Michael Brennan because she will move to small-claims court duty in August.

Attorney Robin Shellow, who is representing Sowande Omokunde, the son of U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), had requested that the cases remain with DiMotto, but attorneys for the other defendants had asked that the matter be moved, as court policy dictates.

The trial was supposed to start last week, but the illness of Shellow's mother, who has since died, prompted a postponement. Shellow's father, James Shellow, has been Robin Shellow's co-counsel in the case but had remained in France with his wife.

The trial is to start Jan. 9.

Note the date of this article--this trial starts this Monday!

I've been waiting for this for quite a while! I bet it's not getting a lot of attention now, right? Has it been delayed again?

they'll likely try to delay it again.

somebody will probably get a sprained ankle or a bad case of gas and they'll delay it for another 6 months.

5 Democrats face trial for slashing GOP tires from February.

Why does it take more than a year to bring this case?

Because they're crimes committed by DemonRAT thugs in a DemonRAT city with DemonRAT lawyers for the defendents and sympathetic DemonRAT judges. Did I mention they're all DemonRATS?

But he barely lost Wisconsin. This 'prank' may have made a difference.
