State Supreme Court Justice Peter Lynch denied a motion Monday by Nauman Hussain’s legal team to delay the Schoharie limousine crash trial so that prosecutors could subpoena FBI Director Christopher Wray for details on an investigation into Hussain’s father Shahed Hussain, a longtime FBI informant with a checkered past. The Times Union reports
Lee Kindlon, Hussain’s Albany attorney, told Lynch during a hearing Monday in Schoharie County Court that Shahed Hussain, who owned the limo company involved in the crash, was able to break state law and fool the state Department of Motor Vehicles into registering the 31-foot stretch Ford Excursion as a regular SUV with less than 11 passengers.
