Smoke shop case to start Jan. 7 in Superior Court

PROVIDENCE -- Superior Court Judge Susan E. McGuirl today set a trial start date of Jan. 7 for the seven Narragansett Indians facing criminal charges related to the 2003 state police raid on a tribal smoke shop in Charlestown.

The cases will be tried together. McGuirl estimated the trial could take up to a month.

The state Supreme Court, which is weighing whether Governor Carcieri must testify, has ordered the sides into mediation.
