The sentencing had been scheduled for 2 p.m. today, after two defense motions for new trials were denied by a Superior Court judge. The delay was granted to give defense lawyers a chance to look into how particular sentences could affect how tribal leaders can interact with federal agencies. The three defendants are all considered tribal leaders. They are Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas, and Randy Noka and Hiawatha Brown, who are on the tribal council. The sentencing has now been scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Thursday. -- With reports from Journal staff writer Katie Mulvaney and photographer Andrew Dickerman Posted by Andrea Panciera CommentsAngel | June 17, 2008 9:56 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.
