NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A federal judge has rescheduled a closed-door meeting to discuss BP’s agreement to plead guilty to criminal charges stemming from its deadly 2010 rig explosion and response to the massive Gulf oil spill.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance had planned to meet Thursday in her chambers with prosecutors and BP attorneys to discuss scheduling matters in the case, but she pushed the meeting to Dec. 11 due to a scheduling conflict.
