Leslie Johnson Seeks Court Hearing Delay

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) -- The wife of former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson is seeking to delay a court hearing in her corruption case, saying she needs more time to prepare.

Leslie Johnson, who was charged with evidence tampering in November along with her husband, was to have faced a preliminary hearing on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt.
