Sentence Delay / Dumped by Attorney
Dunn, 47, was scheduled to be sentenced on March 24 but his attorneys sought to delay the sentencing until after he's tried again on a first-degree murder charge. Retrial is scheduled to begin May 5th.
Dunn already faces a maximum of 60 years in prison for the attempted murder charges on which he already has been convicted.
Defense attorney Cory Strolla argued during a hearing Monday for Dunn's sentencing to be delayed on the grounds that statements Dunn makes at a sentencing hearing could be used against him in his second trial.
Strolla also said Monday he is stepping down as Dunn's attorney and asked Judge Russell Healey to appoint public defenders (HOTD: not gonna get paid by someone who's broke and who's locked up no matter what the verdict in the murder retrial).
