Attorney: Jim Greer out of money; trial delayed until February
An Orlando judge on Monday grudgingly once again delayed the fraud and theft trial of Jim Greer, the former chairman of the Florida GOP, saying a money dispute between Greer and the party he's accused of victimizing has ground the case to a halt.
Two months ago, Circuit Judge Marc Lubet ordered the party to surrender to Greer tens of thousands of emails, records that defense attorney Damon Chase says will prove his client is innocent.
But Lubet also ordered Greer to pay the party's expenses, and the party says the cost is $104,000.
In court today, Chase called that request "a shock to the conscience" and said the party is grossly exaggerating. They should cost only a few hundred dollars, he said.
