A U.S. judge ordered a two-week delay in the criminal trial of Adelphia Communications Corp. founder John Rigas, a pioneer in the cable industry who is facing charges of conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud.
Under a new schedule by U.S. District Judge Leonard Sand, Rigas and the other defendants in the case are due in court Feb. 23, when lawyers will begin oral jury selection.
The case was expected to start Feb. 9. No reason was given for the delay.
