ORLANDO, Fla. – An Orange County judge granted a delay Tuesday in the criminal trial of former Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill.
Hill was arrested in March after she was accused of taking more than $100,000 from a 96-year-old woman and using the woman’s name to secure a mortgage for a home.

During a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday, her attorney asked the court for a delay in Hill’s trial, which was scheduled to start on July 22.
