MIAMI — A trial date has been set for North Miami Beach Mayor Anthony DeFillipo, who is accused of illegally voting three times last year in a district where he was not allowed to cast a ballot.
Through his attorney, DeFillipo pleaded not guilty during an arraignment Friday. The trial is scheduled for Sept. 5.
DeFillipo’s attorney Michael Pizzi said the allegations against his client were false and he plans to file a motion to dismiss the case. “Today begins the road to Mayor DeFillipo’s exoneration and vindication,” Pizzi said in a statement.
