A hearing in the sex assault case against French financier Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been delayed two weeks to August 1 because prosecutors say they're not through with their investigation.
The arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn continues to send shockwaves through France. CNN's Jim Bittermann reports.
When New York police detained the head of the International Monetary Fund for questioning on sexual assault charges last weekend, he called on the same lawyer as Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, Sean "Diddy" Combs and other A-listers who faced criminal charges.
The arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn over an alleged sexual assault at a New York hotel predictably dominated the front pages of France's newspapers Monday, with most focusing on the likely damage to his political career. The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) appeared in court Monday to answer allegations of sexual assault. Benjamin Brafman, one of the IMF chief's attorneys, vowed Sunday to vigorously defend him in court, insisting his client is innocent.
International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn will plead not guilty to the charges against him, his attorneys William Taylor and Benjamin Brafman told CNN Sunday.
Plaxico Burress hopes an unusual legal strategy will keep him out of prison. On Wednesday, the former New York Giants wide receiver testified before a Manhattan grand jury on the charges he faces for criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. The charges, which carry a minimum three-and-a half year prison sentence, stem from Burress accidentally shooting himself in Manhattan's Latin Quarter Club last November. Burress' counsel, Benjamin Brafman, and prosecutors have reportedly been unable to strike a plea deal, with Burress willing to serve one year behind bars and prosecutors demanding two. For a 31-year-old wide receiver, the difference between one and two years in prison could be worth millions of dollars.
Plaxico Burress' representatives believe that Monday's adjournment of their client's trial until Sept. 23 clears the way for the 31-year-old free agent to sign with an NFL team. They are particularly optimistic that teams will be interested because the trial may be adjourned again until after the 2009 season.
