NEW LONDON - A New London Superior Court judge on Tuesday set a tentative June trial date for a 20-year-old Uncasville man accused of stabbing his grandparents to death in 2019.
Judge Hillary Strackbein noted the June 22 date for Marcus Fisher was contingent on whether the state will by that point be ready to resume trials after pausing such proceedings last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fisher’s public defender Kevin Barrs also warned his client, who viewed the proceedings remotely, the trial date was subject to change, but told Fisher he’d be the “first on the list” when trials restart.
