A Cooper City baseball coach accused of molesting two of his underage players is asking an appeals court to remove the Broward judge who has been assigned to the cases.
David Solomon, 47, faces life in prison if convicted of multiple counts of sexual battery on a child and lewd or lascivious molestation.
In a series of hearings before Broward Circuit Judge Lisa Porter, defense lawyer Eric Schwartzreich has accused prosecutor Patyl Oflazian of witness coaching and asked that his client, who is in custody, be allowed to wear civilian clothing instead of a jail uniform at routine hearings because it is a high-profile case that has attracted media attention.
Clients who are in custody are usually dressed in civilian clothing only when appearing before jurors.
