The criminal trial of the Rev. Don Armstrong, indicted on 20 counts of felony-theft charges and currently free on a $20,000 bond, won’t begin until summer 2010, said Dennis Hartley, Armstrong’s attorney.

“We just received nine three-spring binders three inches thick” from the Pueblo District Attorney’s Office,  Hartley said. “It is going to take a long time to prepare this case for trial.”

“It will be impossible to be ready before summer 2010,” Hartley said.

When the case finally goes to trial, it will be in Fourth Judicial District court downtown.

Why will the case take so long to go to trial? Please comment below.

    Because it is the four or five counts that will definitely stick that need to be plea bargained to keep him out of the pokey. Too bad for the “faithful” for financing the legal defense of satan’s elder son. How can paying for a legal defense in a criminal matter be construed as a 501c(3) charitable contribution; only in the whiskopalian church.
