RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A new trial date has been set for a Rapid City man accused in a fatal beating at a motel.
Thirty-four-year-old Clifford Gilbert is accused of killing 61-year-old Robert Smith at the Stardust Motel in Rapid City last December.
KOTA-TV (https://bit.ly/2pFgMFl ) reports Gilbert’s attorney says there’s new evidence that needs to be reviewed, so the original July trial has been rescheduled to start Sept. 11.
Also Thursday, a private investigator has been approved for the defense to interview witnesses who were already questioned by police but had high alcohol breathalyzer readings at the time.
