Let's separate out Evan's case from Juliette's ok? I will work on finding some msm on it.
The man charged in the murder of a Gering toddler gets to wait a few more months before the case goes to trial.
Dustin Chauncey appeared this morning in Scotts Bluff County District Court. His attorney Bernard Straeker had filed a motion for a continuance late Wednesday afternoon. Chauncey had a pretrial hearing scheduled for Friday; but has been delayed until November 20th. His trial is set to begin on December 16th.
Bree, he's in jail. :woohoo:
I can live with delays as long as he stays there. :seeya:
'Justice for Juliette' case won't be tried until April
The trial against a man alleged to have killed a 2-year-old girl five years ago will be held in April.
Dustin Chauncey, 26, has been granted a second continuance on charges that stem from the July 11, 2008, death of Juliette Geurts, of Gering. The girl died of blunt force trauma injuries.
In a motion to the court, heard on Monday afternoon, Scotts Bluff County Public Defender Bernard Straetker requests the continuance, citing a shortage of attorneys in his office from June to November. Due to the workload, Straetker said, he has not been able to devote sufficient time and attention to this matter in order to prepare it for trial.

During Mondays hearing, Dobrovolny asked Chauncey if he had any objections to continuing his trial and if he realized that he would be waiving his right to a speedy trial as a result of the motion.
I am not happy about it, but the last thing I want to do is go to trial unprepared, Chauncey told the court.
Chauncey faces trial on a charge of child abuse resulting in death, a Class IB felony, in the death of Juliette Geurts.

Chauncey has indicated in a letter to the court that he wanted a change in venue in the case; however, a formal motion requesting a change of venue has never been filed. Chauncey cited concerns about the media attention in the case.
A pre-trial conference in Chaunceys case has been scheduled for March 14. If the case goes to trial, Dobrovolny indicated that he anticipates jury selection will take place on March 31.
