| Yet another delay in the death penalty phase of the Anthony Garcia murder trial |
Dr. Garcia's new legal counsel, the Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy, asked for the delay because of difficulty in getting files on Garcia's mental health records from his former attorneys, Robert Motta Sr. and Robert Motta Jr. of Chicago.
The three-judge panel hearing on whether Dr. Garcia would face the death penalty for his crimes was originally set for March 12th, but now has been rescheduled for May 30 to June 1 by Douglas County District Judge Gary Randall.
At a hearing on Tuesday, Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine objected to the delay, saying the case has dragged on way too long.
