TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- The misdemeanor solicitation trial for state Rep. Bob Allen will start on Nov. 5 after all.Brevard County Judge Oscar Hotusing determined on Friday morning that Allen's defense was not ready to go to trial and continued the trial to the previously set date, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.The trial had been moved up after Allen's attorney, Greg Eisenmenger, filed a notice of expiration of speedy trial.That filing, however, was not an attempt for the trial to be moved up, but rather a legal maneuver to preserve Allen's right to appeal if the case does not conclude favorably for the seven-year lawmaker, Eisenmenger said.Eisenmenger waived his client's right to a speedy trial on Sept. 18 only after a ruling by Hotusing with which the defense did not agree.Allen, R-Merritt Island, is accused of agreeing to pay $20 to perform a sexual act on an undercover Titusville police officer in a Space View Park restroom.Allen did not appear in court on Friday.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
