Lawyer Attacks Bill Delays in High Profile Trial
Harold Levy, a Chicago lawyer, challenged the indictment against Dennis Kelly, the bartenders union’s business agent, over alleged illegal voting in the June election. Judge Bristow postponed the case to September and weighed Levy’s motion to dismiss for lack of women on the grand jury. A bill of particulars and separate trial were requested, to be decided later. County officials seek the attorney general’s opinion on women jurors as hearings begin in September. A special venue of jurors was ordered that excludes women jurors.
