Overview
- A judge granted a defense continuance on Monday, postponing jury selection that had been set to begin Sept. 14.
- Defense attorneys say they need about 30 days for the court reporter to produce the gunman Kewon White’s trial transcript plus two weeks to review it.
- White was convicted earlier this month and sentenced to life without parole in what prosecutors described as a murder-for-hire plot.
- Prosecutors allege Conway paid White $40,000 and will rely on surveillance, phone and bank records, jail calls, and White’s trial record to make their case.
- A summer ruling allowing some of Conway’s rap lyrics as evidence has drawn attention because its use could set limits on presenting artistic and social-media content at trial.
