PROVO, Utah (AP) - A trial for an Orem man accused of sexual assault has been postponed at least four months because defense lawyers want to dispute an expert witness in the case.
Attorneys for 40-year-old Nasiru Seidu met with prosecutors and a judge behind closed doors Monday before returning to a Provo courtroom and scheduling a June 6 hearing to discuss the witness testimony.
Court records did not offer further details about the witness dispute.
The Daily Herald reports (https://bit.ly/2oZqamT ) Seidu’s trial was originally scheduled to being May 30 but is tentatively expected to start in October.
Seidu faces one count of rape from a September 2015 incident.
