Show Notes
Federal trial for Natick engineer accused of aiding Iranian drone maker delayed due to ongoing war, defense argues heavy news coverage would make it difficult to find an unbiased jury. Sadeghi faces charges of conspiracy and export violations tied to parts from his old job at Analog Devices. Prosecutors wanted to show connection to navigation systems in drones flown by Irans Revolutionary Guard, but judge blocked it as too prejudicial. Sadeghi has been in custody without bail since his arrest in December 2024 and lost his job. Jury experts say waiting a few months should help, as daily life pulls focus away from headlines even if tensions linger. New trial date set for June 2025.
