LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The trial of a man charged with killing a fellow inmate at the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln is set for June.
The Lincoln Journal Star (http://bit.ly/HSarxZ ) says a judge on Tuesday granted a defense motion to delay the trial of Mohamed Abdulkadir until the June 11 jury term.
Abdulkadir is charged with first-degree murder and a weapons charge. He’s accused of fatally stabbing Michael Grandon in June 2011.
Grandon was serving a life sentence for first-degree murder and aiding and abetting first-degree murder in the 2007 deaths of a North Platte woman and her 5-year-old daughter.
Abdulkadir is in prison for aiding and abetting second-degree murder and drug and robbery charges in the 2009 killing of a man in Grand Island.
