The criminal trial of ex-lawyer Chris Pettit, accused of stealing tens of millions of dollars from his former clients, has been postponed a second time so his lawyer can negotiate a possible plea deal with federal prosecutors.
U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia agreed Monday to reset the trial to May 22 from March 20 after Pettit’s attorney asked for a 90-day delay.

No doubt Pettit and his lawyer want to avoid further scrutiny as to how badly he treated local clients.
