NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) – The trial of a man accused of shooting and wounding a woman a Norfolk has been delayed.
34-year-old Carlos Arevalo-Martinez appeared in Madison County District Court and waived his right to a speedy trial. His attorney, Doug Stratton, says he just received police reports last week and they’ll need time to go over the reports with an interpreter.
Arevalo-Martinez’s trial on charges of first-degree assault and use of a fire to commit a felony is now set for July 9.
He’s accused of shooting 33-year-old Edna Gutierrez on Feb. 14.
He was taken into custody after a standoff with police in Stanton on Feb. 16.
Arevalo-Martinez remains in jail on $1 million bond.
