Florida Bankers’ Fate Hangs in Balance as Trial Dates Are Set

In the scorching heat of Pensacola, Florida, the US Court for the Northern District is gearing up for a high-stakes trial that will put four former officers of the First National Bank in the dock. The case, which first unfolded last term, was marred by a bizarre twist when a lone juror was deemed insane after two weeks of testimony. This term, the trial will finally proceed under the watchful eye of Judge Rhydon M. Call, who has been presiding over the case.
