(KNZA)--The jury trial for a Holton man accused of killing his wife has been pushed back.
During a pre-trial hearing this week, a judge agreed to continue the trial for 66-year-old George Fleshman, Jr. to allow for an independent examination of the forensic evidence in the case.
The trial, originally scheduled to begin January 30th, was rescheduled for September 18th. Its scheduled for 5 days.
Fleshman is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 62-year-old wife, Elizabeth, at the couple’s residence in October 2015.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says an autopsy showed she died due to trauma to the spleen.
Fleshman was arrested in March following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.
He remains free on a $75,000 bond.
