Chan is facing 12 criminal counts for his alleged role in a complex scheme that prosecutors say soaked developers for millions in exchange for getting their projects approved at City Hall.
Two weeks after the trial’s opening statements on Feb. 21, the judge called a three-week recess to give Braun time to recover from the sudden illness that required hospitalization.
Additionally, prosecutors say the record regarding Braun’s medical condition — the details of which have not been disclosed to the public — does not support a finding that he is unable to complete the trial, and accommodations such as shorter trial days can be made so the attorney can comfortably carry out the defense.
On March 2, Braun returned to his office after the day’s proceedings where his law partner-son Adam, with whom he shares an office suite, found the attorney gravely ill, according to the motion. According to recent updates from Braun’s medical team, the defense lawyer faces an “indeterminate but significant” period of treatment and recovery, and his eventual return to his practice will be gradual or perhaps limited, Chan’s filing states.
Huizar pleaded guilty in January in Los Angeles federal court to felony charges for using his powerful position at City Hall to enrich himself and his associates, and for cheating on his taxes. He faces multiple years behind bars at a new sentencing date of Sept. 25. Huizar’s sentencing date was moved from April 3 on Monday.
