Fred Abdalla Jr., chief probation officer for Jefferson County Juvenile Court, said the March 13 trial will likely last three or more days and stretch into a weekend. Presiding Judge Thomas Lipps has previously ruled to keep the case in Jefferson County and open it to the public, with some restrictions on photographing witnesses. The two players, Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond, have been on house arrest since last fall, when Lipps ruled the case should stay in juvenile court. Abdalla said prosecutors have subpoenaed 28 witnesses, and one defense attorney has subpoenaed another 12, with more subpoenas expected. The alleged rape is said to have occurred at a party where drinking was taking place. The victim is from Weirton, W. Va., which is across the river from Steubenville.
