Murder Trial Delayed

• {Charleston, West Virginia}...The trial for Marcus Dewayne Wesley was delayed until June 25th after defense attorney Ed Rebrook requested a postponement in Kanawha Circuit Court Monday, and Circuit Judge Charles King agreed. Assistant Prosecutor Don Morris did not object to the delay, telling the judge one witness had to be brought in from California. Michael Mandrell Johnson, 20, of Marmet, and Wesley, 25, of Renaissance Circle, were indicted late last year for the shooting death of 17 year old Leland Chace Miller, who was shot near his Lewis Street home in 2007. Johnson, who was a juvenile at the time of the murder, was sentenced to ten years in prison at his plea hearing Friday.
