Susan Bala, former owner of a Fargo, North Dakota wagering company may be back in court. She owned a wagering company for Racing Services Inc. She has now filed a motion for a new trial. This came about seven months after she was convicted of 12 felony charges related to illegal gambling.
Bala was scheduled to begin serving a 27month sentence August 31, but United States District Judge Ralph Erickson extended the date to September 30. This was all in order to give prosecutors time to bring up a case, if and when it would go back to trial. Bala wants to go back to trial because she discovered documents to prove her case.
United States Attorney Drew Wrigley�s office opposed the delay. They believe that there isn�t any new evidence. Due to this there shouldn�t be a new trial, nor delay in the sentence being enacted.
