U.S. District Judge James Moody Jr. rescheduled the trial of former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian and his co-defendants from January to April 4. All four have denied the charges.
The case became an issue in this year’s Senate race between Democrat Betty Castor and Republican Mel Martinez, who won.
