STAMFORD -- The case of a New Canaan man and former Bush administration lawyer accused of choking and beating his wife with a flashlight appears headed for trial.
State's Attorney David Cohen announced during a brief hearing at state Superior Court Thursday morning that he and the defense attorney for John Michael Farren have not been able to reach an amicable resolution to the case and asked that it be put on the jury list.
Judge Richard Comerford granted the request, but did not set a date for jury selection.
When the two sides are unable to agree on resolving the case, the sticking point often involves the amount of jail time demanded by the prosecutor and defense attorney or client's unwillingness to agree with the figure.
