Judge Rejects Albert

Compiled From Wire Services

Marv Albert’s bid to have the sodomy indictment against him dismissed as too vague was rejected by a judge.

The NBC sportscaster’s lawyer, Roy Black, had argued that the indictment is flawed because it does not specifically say Albert penetrated the alleged victim.

Circuit Judge Benjamin N.A. Kendrick denied the request without explanation.

Albert is accused of biting the woman severely on the back and forcing her to perform oral sex on him in a hotel room Feb. 12. His trial begins Monday.
