(Urbana, IL) — Attorneys for the man accused of snatching a U of I scholar want a judge to let them walk away from the case. Attorney Tom Bruno and his sons on Friday asked the judge in Brendt Christensen’s case to let them off the defense because they say Christensen can’t afford them. Christensen is charged with kidnapping Yingying Zhang from the U of I back in June. The Bruno’s said Christensen doesn’t have the funds to pay for a possible death penalty defense.
