Gambling Conspiracy and Defense Set Back in Arraignment
Santa Ana defense efforts in the arraignment of Poker Czar William L. Robertson and 13 others on gambling conspiracy charges faced multiple setbacks as the hearing recessed until Monday.

Defense motions to quash the indictments were repeatedly thwarted amid claims of rapid grand jury action and “high pressure” deals, as other challenges questioned the jury procedure. the case hangs on the sufficiency of process and the defense plans further court actions if the indictment stands.
