LEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) — Trial for a Nebraska woman charged with felony accessory to murder has been moved to August.
34-year-old Melissa Callahan, of Elm Creek, appeared Monday in Dawson County District Court, where a judge granted her attorney’s motion for more time to gather information and seek depositions.
Her trial is now set for Aug. 8.
Authorities say Callahan was present when Jose Regalado-Mendez shot to death 37-year-old Jose Hernandez in October, and then helped move the body and conceal the slaying. Hernandez’s remains were found Dec. 12 near a farmhouse north of Lexington.
Regalado-Mendez has been charged with first-degree murder and a weapons count
