Trial of limo operator pushed to Jan. 6
SCHOHARIE — The trial of Nauman Hussain, the limousine company operator charged with the deaths of 20 people during a crash last fall, has been adjourned four months and is scheduled to begin in early January.
Hussain's attorney, Lee Kindlon, said the rescheduled trial date is a result of a request the defense team submitted recently asking to extend deadlines for filing pre-trial motions.
On Thursday, the defense team and its crash and vehicle experts spent several hours examining brake and other parts from the now-dismantled 2001 stretch Ford Excursion that was carrying 17 passengers when it crashed along a rural highway in Schoharie.
They inspected the vehicle's parts in a conference room at the State Police Troop G headquarters in Latham, where the limousine has been kept since last year.
