Lawyers in TelexFree Case Seek to Delay Trial
11/24/2015
During a recent hearing, lawyers in the TelexFree case asked a federal judge to delay the trial of TelexFree principal James Merrill from April to November 2016. Merrill is under house arrest at his home in Massachusetts, awaiting trial for fraud.
Both the Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting the case and Merrill's defense attorney said they need more time to go through data retrieved from TelexFree's computers and arrange for witnesses. U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Hillman took the request under consideration.
