{West Virginia}...A murder trial for David Washington Kinney, 32, of Charleston, has been postponed until March 26, 2012. Jeremy Parsons, 31, of Poca, was shot inside his vehicle near Park Avenue and Virginia Street on July 4, 2010. The car then crashed into a barrier near the Sav-A-Lot store. Kinney was arrested four months after the shooting, but his trial has been postponed several times. Defense attorneys for Kinney requested time to inspect physical evidence, including shell casings found at the scene and the vehicle belonging to the victim. Assistant Prosecutors Erica Lord and Ben Freeman said Charleston Police detectives took shell casings recovered from the scene to a lab in London for analysis, but, after inspecting the casings, they were not able to determine anything. Defense co-counsel Obumni Kusimo said she wanted permission to see the shell casings and also have another independent lab analyze them. Kinney was being held without bond until January, when Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster agreed to set a $250,000 bond. Kinney is now on home confinement.
