Judge Bumps Ex-Soldier’s Trial
Date Because of Quilt Show By Associated Press April 2, 2008 Paducah, Ky. - The trial of
a former Fort Campbell soldier charged with the rape and murder of a
14-year-old Iraqi girl has been delayed by three weeks to accommodate a quilt
show. U.S. District Judge Thomas
Russell ordered former Pvt. Steven D. Green's trial delayed from April 6,
2009 to April 27 because the National American Quilt show is in Paducah
during the original trial date. Russell said in a one-page ruling issued
Tuesday that attendance at the show would make it difficult to secure enough
hotel rooms for trial participants. Green, of Midland, Texas,
faces a possible death sentence if convicted on 16 charges that include
premeditated murder and aggravated sexual assault. He pleaded not guilty in
November 2006. © 2008 The Associated Press External link: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/5668821.html |
