An Indianapolis judge on Wednesday confirmed Dec. 11 as the trial date for Fox Sports analyst and former NFL player Mark Sanchez, who's charged with attacking and seriously injuring a truck driver outside a hotel in what prosecutors say was a dispute over a parking place .
The pretrial conference lasted only about 2 1/2 minutes. Sanchez, who was more seriously hurt in the confrontation, was not required to be present and did not enter a plea.
“Thank you for allowing our client to be excused from today's hearing. He’s still recovering from the injuries he sustained,” defense attorney Tim DeLaney told the judge, who also set another hearing for Nov. 20 and confirmed the next pretrial conference date for Dec. 2.
Most of those dates were set earlier, but they're all subject to change.
