Pikeville, Ky – Special Judge Eddy Coleman has pushed the murder trial of M.K. McKinney back to May 11.

Coleman said the trial will run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, with Wednesdays set aside for other cases on his docket, and he expects jury selection to take about two days. McKinney’s attorney, Steven Romines, told the court he will need two days for his defense, while Commonwealth’s Attorney Brent Turner said the trial will last at least three to possibly four weeks. The next pretrial conference is set for 10am on February 26th.
