The trial of a former aide to Ald. James Gardiner on charges he allegedly tried to sell a machine gun to an undercover ATF agent while on the clock for the city is unlikely to take place before the April 4 runoff election.
A bench trial for Charles Sikanich set to begin Thursday was canceled because a “personal matter” made Sikanich’s attorney unavailable, a spokesman for Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said. Sikanich’s next court date is March 30, when a new trial date will be assigned, the spokesman said.
