Overview
- Sanders’ attorney filed sealed motions asking the court to limit what evidence can be used at his upcoming bankruptcy trial.
- One request targets mentions of his prior and later school discipline, and another seeks to exclude records about time at Dallas’s Letot juvenile facility.
- The trial will decide if the Texas default judgment is a debt from a willful and malicious injury, which would block discharge under bankruptcy law.
- A parallel dispute continues over roughly $250,000 the trustee says moved after Sanders filed Chapter 7, a case the judge kept alive by denying dismissal in March.
- The court has set the first bankruptcy trial for August 31, 2026, stemming from a 2015 school altercation that led to a $11.89 million default judgment in 2022, which Sanders says followed an act of self-defense.
