Kinde Durkee court hearing to be postponed again
Attorneys for Burbank-based campaign treasurer Kinde Durkee and the federal government have agreed to a one-month delay for a court hearing that had been set for Thursday on allegations that she embezzled political funds from a state lawmaker.
If a judge signs off on the delay, as expected, the hearing will be held Feb. 28 in federal court in Sacramento.
Durkee was arrested Sept. 2 and charged with mail fraud in a case that alleges she misused $677,000 in 2010 from the campaign account of Assemblyman Jose Solorio (D-Santa Ana).
