A 73-year-old man charged with murder in the death of his wife is set to go to trial in February in Nevada County Superior Court.
Dennis Michael Daly was arrested in late October 2019 after authorities alleged he punched Stacey Sokol Daly, 63, repeatedly in the head. Stacey Daly died Nov. 2, 2019, after lapsing into a coma.
Dennis Daly’s trial was initially scheduled to start in January. Deputy District Attorney Cambria Lisonbee on Tuesday requested a continuance, however, because she has a different murder trial starting the week before. Judge Scott Thomsen found good cause to grant the request and rescheduled the trial date to Feb. 9.
