Courier-Journal: Schroeder may seek to split his case from Felner’s
The attorney for Thomas Schroeder, the Illinois man named as co-defendant in the criminal case against former University of Louisville education dean Robert Felner, has filed a motion protecting his client’s right to request his case be tried separately from Felner’s.
Felner and Schroeder are accused of fraudulently obtaining nearly $2.3 million in grant and contract money from the universities of Louisville and Rhode Island.
Felner, 58, is facing 10 counts of mail fraud, money-laundering, conspiracy and income-tax evasion; a federal grand jury indicted him in October.
Schroeder, 51, of Fort Byron, Ill., also is charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, mail fraud and conspiracy to defraud the IRS.
