MORRISON, Ill. (AP) – A judge in northwestern Illinois has delayed the second trial of a 32-year-old man accused of killing eight people in two states.

Nicholas Sheley had been scheduled to go on trial March 5 in the death of 93-year-old Russell Reed of rural Sterling.

But Sheley’s defense attorney, Jeremy Karlin, told a judge Friday that preparing for the case had been more complicated than anticipated and he couldn’t be ready by then.

Judge Jeffrey O’Connor set a new trial date of June 11.

O’Connor on Friday is also expected to rule on whether cameras will be allowed at Sheley’s trial as part of a test policy announced recently by the Illinois Supreme Court.

Sheley’s serving a life sentence for killing a Galesburg man, and he’s charged in six other killings.
