Trial of Tinsley, Daniels delayed to Jan. 14

The trial of Indiana Pacers players Jamaal Tinsley and Marquis Daniels, both facing charges stemming from a bar fight almost a year ago, has been rescheduled for Jan. 14.\nThe trial was to begin Monday, but defense attorney James Voyles requested the delay, the second since September, because the Pacers have a road game at Cleveland on Tuesday.\n“We’ll be all ready,” Voyles told The Indianapolis Star.\nA Marion Superior Court jury is expected to hear three days of testimony.\nA grand jury indicted Tinsley on a felony charge of intimidation and misdemeanor counts of battery, disorderly conduct and intimidation in connection with a Feb. 6 fight at the 8 Seconds Saloon. Daniels is charged with battery and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.\nAccording to a police report, the manager of the bar said Tinsley threatened to kill him during the fight. The confrontation with the players followed another fight involving a person who employees thought was trying to steal coats from the coat check area, police said.
