  "account": "Tiger Woods is set to make his first in-person court appearance in Florida on Tuesday, Sept 8, at 8:30am, following a series of delays. The golf star, 50, is facing two misdemeanor charges of DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a chemical test. Police discovered hydrocodone pills in Woods' possession during their investigation into the March 27 accident in Jupiter Island, Florida. While no alcohol was detected in his system via a breathalyzer, Woods declined to take a urine test. Prosecutors have been working diligently to gather information, including accessing Woods' hospital records from the crash scene. His legal team, led by Douglas Duncan, has requested a jury trial.",
