According to the story, “Hall said she did so after failing to come to an agreement with the state racing commission over when her hearing would be held. While Hall testified against Fishman in federal court, she still must testify against his former assistant, Lisa Gianelli. Gianelli’s trial was postponed after her lawyer tested positive for COVID-19 and no date has been set yet for the start of her new trial. Hall said lawyers from the Department of Justice asked that she not testify before the racing commission before the Gianelli trial was concluded. The NJRC did not agree to the delay, so Hall went ahead and turned in her license.”
