The trial of a Barnesville man charged with attempted murder was delayed in Schuylkill County Court.
31 year old Jonathan T. Ford’s trial was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. State police at Frackville believe Ford, and 22 year old Jordan Stravinsky kidnapped 34 year old Shaun D. Briggs, from his Union Township home on Sept. 29.
President Judge William E. Baldwin delayed the case after taking both prosecution and defense lawyers to task for failing to prepare after late evidence was introduced.
The trial will now be scheduled for the next term, in February.
Stravinsky, who had been released on $1 bail after being in jail 180 days without coming to trial, is on house arrest.
