Feds Push to Speed Up Big U Trial After Witness Home Hit

The Big U case just got heavier. Federal prosecutors are pushing back hard against postponing the trial, citing a cooperating witness's vandalized home and graffiti labeling them as a "rat" as proof that dragging things out puts people in danger.

The defense had asked for an eight-month delay. The feds said nah — not when someone's already getting their house tagged and targeted for working with the government. That's the kind of pressure that can flip a case or worse, make witnesses disappear or flip their story.
