Legendary rocker Rod Stewart plea withdrawn, trial set over New Year’s Eve skirmish

In January, lawyers announced that plea deal was made only to have that deal scuttled and a trial date set. Then in September just before trial, lawyers announced another deal was struck, effectively canceling the jury trial and setting Friday as the date for the deal to be announced. Now, that deal is off the table — at least for now — and another trial date has been set for Jan. 25, 2022.
