DIANNA DURAN’S LAWYERS WANT A NEW DATE FOR HER PRELIMINARY HEARING. THEY’LL BE IN COURT THURSDAY TO ASK FOR THE DELAY FOR THE HEARING SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 30TH. DURAN FACES MORE THAN 60 COUNTS ENCOMPASSING CHARGES RELATED TO HER ALLEGED USE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS FOR PERSONAL USE.
ATTORNEY GENERAL HECTOR BALDERAS CALLS TODAY’S DELAY REQUEST A PLOY TO PUT OFF COURT PROCEEDINGS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. MEANWHILE, A LEGISLATIVE HOUSE COMMITTEE HAS ALREADY STARTED LOOKING INTO WHETHER DURAN SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.
