JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) - The murder trial of a Jonesboro woman in the shooting death of her husband is being delayed until September.
The capital murder trial of 34-year-old Michelle Despain was rescheduled from the first week of May until Sept. 8 - but a lengthy investigative report of more than 3,000 pages led her attorneys to ask for the delay.
Despain has pleaded not guilty to being part of a plot in the Aug. 24, 2011, shooting death of Marc Despain inside the couple’s home.
