Double-murder trial will not proceed next week, as expected
A double-murder trial that was scheduled to begin Monday has been canceled, as expected.
As the Journal-World reported, one of defendant Rodney Marshall’s attorneys, Cline Boone, withdrew from the case Wednesday — a move that the court deemed necessary under the rules of professional responsibility.
A new attorney, Branden Bell, has been appointed to defend Marshall alongside attorney Matthew Cohen, but Bell has indicated that he cannot be ready by Monday.
The case is set for scheduling at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
