Lawyers for former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum are asking to push back his trial on federal public corruption charges until spring 2023.
A motion for a continuance filed Friday by Miami attorneys David Markus and Todd Yoder follows a similar request filed earlier this week by lawyers for Gillum’s co-defendant, Sharon Lettman-Hicks. The two defendants were initially scheduled to stand trial Aug. 16 at the U.S. Courthouse in Tallahassee.
“The government just provided the first wave of discovery,” Gillum’s counsel wrote. “The volume of discovery is massive, including boxes of CDs with audio files. We will work with the government on trying to figure out what’s what, but it will be a tedious and intensive process.” Gillum’s lawyers said they have four federal trials, including one in Colorado, scheduled through the end of the year. They said Lettman-Hicks’ lawyers also have trial commitments through the year.
A federal grand jury indicted Gillum and Lettman-Hicks last month on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud, with the former mayor facing an additional charge of lying to the government.
