Legally-embattled State Senator Efrain Gonzalez will enjoy at least six more months of innocence when a federal judge in Manhattan recently set his trial date for Nov. 26 .
Gonzalez faces nine separate counts ranging from mail fraud to embezzlment for allegedly funneling more than $400,000 in government grants (known as member items), through three non-profits, back into his own pocket.
For a round-up on the whole sordid saga, check out this story.
Recently, Gonzalez has been very visible in Norwood, having attended a Community Night Out event last Thursday and a press conference the week before, to speak out about youth violence in the wake of the shootings at Tracey Towers on May 4.
