- Judge James Osborn, who granted a defense request Wednesday, moved the trial to July 13 with a pretrial conference on July 8.
- The ruling is the fourth delay at the defense’s request after earlier dates slid from December to March, then April, then May.
- Sanchez faces a Level 5 felony battery charge and misdemeanors including public intoxication and unauthorized entry of a vehicle, with up to six years possible on the felony.

- Tole has also sued Sanchez, FOX Sports, and Huse Culinary, alleging negligence and a violation of Indiana’s Dram Shop law, which bars serving visibly intoxicated patrons, and Huse confirmed Sanchez attended a St. Elmo’s event that night.
