From Fitsnews.com: attorneys in Alabama requested a continuance in a written motion on grounds that the trial date conflicted with Alabama playing at the national championship game in Pasadena, California, an event for which they had bought tickets. Motion granted. Excerpt:
8. It is also understood that many of the witness involved are trying to acquire tickets to the game and/or scheduled to be at the game in Pasadena on January 7th and certainly any juror selected to participate will likely be preoccupied and not able to devote their full attention to the case before them during the week of January 4, 2010, and therefore, the parties would be prejudiced by the distraction caused by such a major event of such significant importance to so many people in this State.9. ROLL TIDE!! ( although my secretary is for the other great team of this State, she feels that I need to attend this championship game!); and may the Longhorns be defeated.
