The case of a former Leavenworth police officer who is charged with manslaughter is scheduled to go to trial early next year.
Matthew R. Harrington’s jury trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 31 in Leavenworth County District Court, according to court records.
Harrington, 27, is charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to a July 11, 2017, shooting that resulted in the death of Antonio Garcia Jr., 47. The shooting occurred while Harrington was working as a member of the Leavenworth Police Department.
The date for Harrington’s jury trial was selected as the defendant appeared in court Friday through the Zoom online videoconferencing service, according to court records.
