Koistinen Case Delayed Again – Possible Plea Deal?
Jeffrey Koistinen Case Update
The Court granted the defense motion to continue the case, finding that additional time is needed to adequately prepare for trial and that the interests of justice outweigh speedy trial considerations. The government did not object to the continuance.
Key updates:
- The change-of-plea deadline has been extended to September 4, 2026.
- The trial has been rescheduled from June 16, 2026, to September 22, 2026, at 9:30 a.m.
- Speedy Trial Act time will be excluded from June 17, 2026, through September 22, 2026.
- Previously issued subpoenas remain in effect through the new trial date.
The continuance provides both parties additional time to prepare and leaves open the possibility of a plea resolution before the new trial date.
