A trial date has yet to be set for Allison Beaver Burchett – the ex-wife of Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett – two months after she was indicted for six counts of identity theft in an effort to influence a divorce battle. Knox County Criminal Court Judge Steve Sword said this recent delay is because defense attorneys have been waiting on Assistant District Attorney General Bill Bright to turn over to them copies of computer evidence. According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, a trial date would have normally been set when Burchett was arraigned in September.
