The players' lawyers had objected to having the cases assigned together to Rochester Hills 52nd District Judge Lisa Asadoorian. Oakland County Circuit Judge Fred Mester recently ordered that the cases be reassigned by a blind draw. Judge Julie Nicholson will preside in the cases involving Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson, with a pretrial hearing Sept. 23, the court said Friday. Judge Nancy Tolwin Carniak will hear David Harrison's case, with a pretrial hearing Sept. 19. Asadoorian will hear the case against Anthony Johnson, with jury selection Sept. 16. </div> ESPN.
