Seventeen months in detention
 August 31, 2008, 9:43 am (1 year ago)After not succeeding on secure release from custody on bail because of health problems, BetonSports originator Gary Kaplan's legal representatives revised their request for his release on Speedy Trial Act grounds this week.
About 17 months in custody without trial proceedings is extreme, propose the lawyers, a dispute that could be relevant to the previous CEO of the now dilapidated company David Carruthers who has been under house arrest in St. Louis even longer.
Magistrate Judge Mary Ann Medler signed Kaplan's detention order on June 13, 2007, and his legal team claims that his custody has been stretched for almost 17 months without the federal government scheduling a trial date, a date for a pretrial meeting or without ruling on his motion requesting release on Speedy Trial Act grounds.
