SNOW HILL — The trial for the man charged with the death of Christine Sheddy was postponed this morning. A motion filed by the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office stated that outstanding DNA evidence was not available to prosecutors nor the defense 30 days prior to the trail dates, as is required.
Judge Thomas C. Groton III granted the motion, citing other factors, such as State’s Attorney Beau Oglesby having only been in office for five weeks as reasons to push the trial date to June.
Justin Michael Hadel was charged with first-degree murder in the case, after Sheddy, a 27-year-old mother of two, went missing in November of 2007.
This is strange. How come the DNA wasn't a factor when all the other postponements were asked for? If they don't have it now, they surely didn't have it then.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the new trial dates aren't til june 13 thru 17.
ReplyDeleteThat is terrible for the victim's family. How awful to now have to wait another 5 months. Beau went into office knowing this was an important case for our county. After a month in office, he should've been ready. This poor family. Hope we have a victim coordinator in our county who is giving alot of support to this family.
ReplyDeleteIt was the judge that mentioned Oglesby has been in office for only five weeks. It is Farlow that has had this case for months and months.
ReplyDeleteThought Oglesby went into office and worked with Todd a few weeks earlier because of this case. Do you know?
ReplyDelete10:35 if accurate records weren't kept as to which information was turned over to the defense, that's not Oglesby fault. If anything it's a good thing he caught it and brought it to attention. The last thing anyone needs is something like what happened on the Wojcik case.
ReplyDeleteQuit blaming Beau Oglesby. If anything it's a good thing and shows what an excellent job he is doing so far. If records aren't accurate, it's a good thing he discovered it and brought it out in open before the trial began.
