A new trial date was set Monday morning in Christian Circuit Court for Leonardo Miller, one of two men charged with the 2016 murder of 19-year old De’Andre Palmer in Oak Grove.
Trial had been set to begin Monday for Miller, but COVID protocols prevent any jury trials before June 1.
Judge John Atkins rescheduled Miller’s trial date for August 9—after co-defendant Dequavion James’ trial has ended.
Judge Atkins noted he could arrange for mediation between the parties by a retired judge if they wanted to continue to work toward a potential resolution outside of trial and defense attorney Clayton Brown and Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling said they are open to that possibility.
