Willis \u2062has requested an October 23 start date for the trial, shaking things \u200bup after co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro&#8217;s\u200d request for \u2064a \u200bspeedy trial.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Chesebro&#8217;s request, Willis filed a motion on Thursday, pushing for the trial to begin on October\u2062 23.
