Hmm.......Who else is scheduled for trial in October?
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Map, News) - A former health care financing company executive wants his corporate fraud trial delayed two months, saying he's having trouble preparing his case.

Lance Poulsen wants his August trial on charges accusing him of bilking investors of $1.9 billion moved to October to give him and his attorneys more time to get ready.

Poulsen's attorneys say in a federal court filing in Columbus that they have millions of documents to review and are worried about evidence the government may not have produced yet.

They also say it's difficult to meet with Poulsen, who's housed in a southern Ohio jail a 12-hour drive from their offices in North Carolina.

The attorneys say they are a small law firm without the resources of a major national company.
