(KNZA)--A new trial date has been set for a Mayetta man accused of the stabbing death of a Mayetta woman last November.
During a recent hearing in Jackson County District Court, a five-day jury trial was set for Wilson Noriega, beginning December 12th.
His trial had originally been scheduled to begin July 18th, but in June a judge granted a motion for the withdrawal of his attorney and appointed a new attorney to represent him.
Noriega is charged with first-degree murder and two drug counts stemming from the fatal stabbing of 49-year-old Leann Sanchez early November 21st at a residence on the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation where the two lived.
Noriega also faces charges in two other separate cases, with trials in those cases to be held following the conclusion of the murder trial.
He remains in the Jackson County Jail, held on a $1 million bond.
