OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The trial of one of Omaha’s most notorious crimes will be delayed after a judge ruled that the out-of-state defense lawyers lost their authorization to work in Nebraska.

The local lawyers who were working with the Chicago defense lawyers defending former doctor Anthony Garcia were allowed to withdraw from the case Thursday.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine had filed a motion seeking to remove the Illinois lawyers after Alison Motta falsely told reporters that DNA evidence exonerated Garcia.

Garcia is charged in the 2008 deaths of the 11-year-old son of Creighton University pathologist William Hunter, as well as the family’s housekeeper. Garcia’s also charged in the 2013 deaths of Creighton pathologist Roger Brumback and his wife.

Garcia’s trial had been scheduled to begin on Monday.
