Hansen Helo Case Hovers Near Mistrial
A second major delay interrupts Hansen Helicopter fraud trial.

The Hansen Helicopter trial came to an abrupt pause last week and has been continued through at least mid-August due to the illness of the lead prosecutor, jurors, and a variety of scheduling conflicts. The case which began in February and was originally scheduled to last just three weeks already has seen jurors dismissed for cause and illness. Any additional delay beyond August could further erode the number of available jurors and trigger a mistrial.
