BISBEE — A delay's sought in the retrial of an Arizona Border Patrol agent charged with murder in the fatal shooting of an illegal immigrant.
Lead defense attorney Sean Chapman filed a motion dated Tuesday asking that the April 22 federal court trial of Nicholas Corbett be reset for Sept. 9, citing trial conflicts.
Chapman said he "has multiple trial settings on cases that were previously delayed in order to try" the Corbett case the first time.
According to the motion, prosecutors joined in on the request.
Corbett's charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide in the January 2007 death of 22-year-old Francisco Javier Dominguez Rivera of Puebla, Mexico.
A mistrial was declared March 7 following a two-week trial because the jury was deadlocked.
