U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn granted a lengthy postponement for Price's trial on charges of corruption. Price's trial was set to begin January 19, 2016 more than a year after his first appearance in the case on July 24, 2014, with the earliest the trial could begin being September 6, 2016. On June 24, 2016, U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn pushed the trial date back to February 21, 2017, due to the amount of evidence the government accumulated, 9.2 terabytes worth, and the time needed for the defense to sort through it all.
