HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) - A murder trial has been delayed for a 24-year-old Guide Rock man accused of helping his mother kill the mother of her boyfriend.
The Hastings Tribune says (https://bit.ly/11KCE3E ) the attorney for Andrew Casterline had asked the judge for the delay. Last week the judge complied with the request, setting a new trial start date of Sept. 8. The old date was May 27.
Casterline is accused of stabbing 68-year-old Virginia Barone on Oct. 4 at her home in Guide Rock. His mother, 41-year-old Shelley Casterline, in March pleaded guilty to a reduced murder charge. She’s scheduled to be sentenced on June 10.
Investigators have said Shelley Casterline acknowledged she’d killed Barone after the older woman made comments that enraged her.
