Sergio Pino's suicide before an FBI arrest left his alleged murder plot against his estranged wife unresolved. Nine co-defendants face federal charges including murder conspiracy, and a trial set for last Monday has been postponed until May 5 to allow for ongoing plea negotiations. Defense attorneys have indicated that while they expect many defendants to seek plea deals, the extensive discovery process has complicated matters, so negotiations are anticipated to take time before a resolution is reached.
U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles granted delaying the jury trial until May 5, as plea negotiations for the nine defendants continue to unfold amid massive discovery.
Prosecutors have expressed an interest in discussing and/or offering plea agreements in the near future, indicating that negotiations will take additional time due to the case's complexity.
