Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Halle Berry’s alleged stalker Richard Franco, recently had his burglary trial date pushed back 36 days. Today(November 28), Los Angeles Judge Dennis Landin, granted a request from Franco’s attorney asking that his burglary trial be delayed from the set date of Dec. 20.

Last month, the alleged intruder plead not guilty to felony burglary and stalking charges. On July 11 Franco was arrested after he was caught by the actress’ private security guards sneaking onto her Hollywood Hills property.

According to sources, Franco appeared before the judge today, but said little to nothing during the proceedings.

Berry currently has a restraining order on Franco prohibiting him from coming within 100 yards of her, her family and her home for the next three years.

The 27-year-old will remain in jail until his trial and he face up to six years in prison if convicted.

Trial is now set for January 25, 2012.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
