Dynus trial pushed back
Orlando Carter, former president of Dynus Corp, has had his trial date pushed back — way back.
Instead of being due in court Jan. 12, Carter will now appear in U.S. District Court May 1, 2009.
Carter pleaded not guilty in June to an 11-count grand jury indictment with charges including making false statements to secure more than $10 million in loans and lines of credit for personal real estate and the operation of his business.
This includes a line of credit Carter’s business, Dynus Corp, allegedly took out in Butler County’s name without the county’s approval for a pending fiber optics contract.
Former county auditor Kay Rogers resigned from office after pleading guilty to bank fraud in March for her role in helping the company secure the loan. A sentencing date has not been set for Rogers, or former Dynus employees James Smith and Karin Verbruggen who pleaded guilty to related charges.
Conventional wisdom is that pushing back the Carter trial will likely stall any sentencing date for Rogers, if the feds are counting on Rogers testifying against Carter and want a something to hold over her head.

One would suspect the fix is in, the courts condone this, and if you can afford a good legal team, you most likley will get your hand slapped. We all know this will drag on , and will end up going away.
