Mistrial for Tabone & Smith

From Pix11:

A federal judge has declared a mistrial for a state senator and a former Queens Republican leader.

A New York City councilman has opted to go forward with his trial.

Federal Judge Kenneth Karas declared the mistrial Tuesday for state Sen. Malcolm Smith and ex-GOP leader Vincent Tabone. Their retrial is scheduled to start Jan. 5, 2015.

Former New York City Councilman Daniel Halloran is due back in court next week.

Wow! Dungeons and Dragons,Midnight Mead Fests in Bowne Park, hollering at Traffic Agents, and "Thank you Sir! May I please have another" plus brain growths all in one tiny courtroom.Sounds like a circus!

Garbage! This is just a plot that they claim when they think the trial is not going their way!

According to the Times, Halloran does not have the $$ for a new trial, so he did not request a mistrial.

I thought Halloran was to plead insanity or something along those lines.

Is this a joke - why can't the new trial begin next week? It must be nice to get a 6-month reprieve.
