Matthew T. Allen, Pettit’s defense lawyer, filed a motion Friday seeking a 90-day delay in the start of the trial — currently set for March 20. A grand jury indicted Pettit, 55, in December on five counts of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering, charges that could land him in prison for years if convicted.
