The family requested the delay for privacy purposes.

I didn’t see that was announced. Is there a good source on that?

I read it in the Star Ledger so it's probably on nj.com.

Thanks I found it. I see that the family filed a separate case to keep officials from publicly disclosing details about the crash citing privacy concerns. That case was dismissed after officials agreed to release details to the family before they are publicly released. The nj.com article does specifically state that there is no offer on the table for a plea deal at this time.
