LOS ANGELES—A brief status conference was held Nov. 8 in the corruption case against Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley Thomas and Marilyn Flynn, a former dean of the USC School of Social Work. Both made their first appearance this morning before the federal judge overseeing their case, but a new trial date was not yet scheduled.
During the 10-minute hearing, in which Ridley-Thomas and Flynn appeared via Zoom, the judge heard a summary of the prosecution and requested both sides to stipulate the need for a new trial date due to the cancellation of the December trial date, which was previously set during their arraignments last month.
