Court sets change-of-plea hearing for Alex Saab, cancels jury trial
What happened
According to the docket entry, Judge Kathleen M. Williams set a change of plea hearing for Alex Saab on September 15, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in Miami. The notice states that the previously scheduled Zoom calendar call and jury trial for Saab were canceled and removed from the court's calendar. The docket entry itself does not describe what will happen at the hearing, only its scheduling.
What it means
A change of plea hearing typically occurs when a defendant is expected to change his plea, for example from not guilty to guilty, before the judge. The cancellation of the jury trial suggests the case will not proceed to trial as previously scheduled, though the docket entry alone does not confirm the outcome of the hearing.
What happens next
The change of plea hearing was set for September 15, 2026 before Judge Williams in Miami.
