Judge Schedules Remaining 9/11 Trials
A federal judge has scheduled the first of three remaining wrongful death lawsuits stemming from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks for April 12. In scheduling the trial, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said he wanted the first trial to focus on a case involving victims aboard the hijacked planes. More than 90 other families who chose not to accept payments from a special Congressional fund have already settled their claims against aviation defendants.
