The trial date was set Monday during a court hearing, where the presiding Judge also ordered Argentino’s sister to stop posting stories and links about the trial on her Facebook. There’s currently a gag order against all parties from speaking about the case. If she continues, sanctions could be filed against the prosecution.
Snuka’s attorney argued that Snuka, 72, is not mentally competent to stand trial. Snuka is also currently battling stomach cancer, and claims to be suffering from some form of early-onset dementia as well as complications from post-concussion syndrome.
