Judge's DUI trial set for Sept. 28
|
WAUKEGAN, Ill. (STNG) -- Judge David Hall's DUI case will go to trial this fall.
Hall's attorney, Jason Mercure, said Tuesday that lawyers have agreed to move forward with a trial in Lake County on Sept. 28. The date was settled during a conference in Kane County on Tuesday morning.
Before that, attorneys are scheduled to meet in Lake County on Aug. 21 for a hearing on a motion to dismiss Hall's blood tests. Kane County Judge Keith Brown will preside over the hearing.
Attorneys from the Illinois Attorney General's Chicago office are prosecuting the case.
Hall, the former chief judge of the 19th Judicial Circuit, was charged with DUI, resisting a police officer, improper lane usage and making an improper turn following a traffic stop April 26, 2008, on Route 60 near St. Mary's Road in Vernon Hills.
A breath test was not conducted at the scene, but blood was drawn while Hall was treated at a hospital for injuries apparently sustained during a struggle with police.
Hall's case has moved slowly due to the death of the arresting officer just weeks after the incident and the logistics of having prosecutors, lawyers and a judge from different counties.
