Actually what I wrote was that the judge was going to set the date for sometime in September but the defense attorney had a scheduling conflict. The judge then set the date for January, '07.
It could be that the defense attorney used the idea of a 'conflict' to have the trial postponed further so that it didn't occur during the election cycle. But nothing in what I read or saw on TV alluded to that as a tactic. Everything pointed to a simple scheduling conflict.
I would agree with the person who said the defense is on a 'roll' right now. However, there's a lot of discovery yet to come out and that's going to take awhile the way Fitzgerald is acting. I think, perhaps, the January date is a good one for the defense.

You are correct.
My apologies...
