KU running back Pooka Williams has jury trial date set; diversion still possible

Kansas running back Pooka Williams has a jury trial date set for his domestic battery charge, though his attorney says a diversion agreement is still possible.

The jury trial for Williams, who appeared in court Wednesday morning, is set to begin at 9 a.m. on June 3. His attorney, Hatem Chahine, previously applied for and was granted a diversion agreement by the Douglas County District Attorney’s office in early January, but Chahine said the two sides have yet to agree on terms.

“That’s where we’re headed (trial) unless we can get this thing ironed out in the diversion,” Chahine said Wednesday.
