Stewart trial not likely until next summer

Tony Stewart

With some depositions — including that of Tony Stewart — still to be taken, any trial in the wrongful death case brought by the parents of Kevin Ward Jr. against Stewart won't happen until at least next summer.

The deadline for motions asking the judge to rule on the case before trial was pushed from Feb. 8 to May 31 during a status conference Thursday in federal court in Utica, N.Y. ESPN
