Ted DiBiase Jr’s Lawyer Files Motion To Delay Trial, Roderick Strong/Mike Bailey

As we previously reported here on eWn, Ted DiBiase Jr. has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, six counts of wire fraud, two counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and four counts of money laundering.

Pwinsider is now reporting that the prosecuting lawyer filed a motion of continuance to delay the trial, which reads:

“The United States of America, by and through the undersigned counsel, submits this Motion for a Special Trial Setting and to reset the deadlines set forth in the scheduling order entered by the Court on April 20, 2023. This case is currently scheduled to proceed to trial on June 20, 2023.

The discovery in this case is extensive and additional time is needed by both sides to review the case and to prepare for trial or negotiate a plea. The government submits that the ends of justice that will be served by taking such action outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

Defendant, by and through counsel, agrees that a new trial setting and a new order resetting the current deadlines are appropriate.

The parties have conferred briefly and will confer further in an attempt to reach an agreement on a new scheduling order to present to the Court.

In the alternative, the government seeks to extend or reset the current deadlines at a status conference on a date to be determined by the Court.

This motion is filed in the interests of justice and not for any unnecessary delay.”

The court is yet to rule on the motion and DiBiase Jr. has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
