The trial of the three men who allegedly killed a 53-year-old Kennesaw man last April will not begin until Oct. 21.
According to the Marietta Daily Journal, the trial was supposed to start Monday, nearly 15 months after Cobb police found 53-year-old Milton Carl Kelley shot in the driveway of his Leicester Drive home. But the attorney for one of the three defendants requested a continuance.
"Attorney Terrence Bradley, representing Jalin Collins, asked for a continuance due to Bradley’s severe medical issues, and the other two defendants agreed to the request," Kim Isaza, the spokeswoman for Cobb District Attorney Vic Reynolds, told the MDJ.
Brandon Tyler Love, 19, of Woodstock; Percy Lee Burdine Jr., 31, of Woodstock; and Collins, 20, of Marietta face murder charges in connection with Kelley's death.
Love has been in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center since April 24, 2012. Collins and Burdine have been there since April 25.
