From the courthouse: Bushaw murder-case trial pushed to June

From WSB’s Katie Meyer at the King County Courthouse: Superior Court Judge Joan DuBuque has just agreed to push back the trial of the remaining defendants in the Steve Bushaw murder case to June 1st. The delay was requested given what defense lawyers characterized as dramatic changes in the case once the two people who actually shot Bushaw in The Junction in February 2009, Danny O’Neal and John Sylve, struck plea bargains (as reported here earlier this month) – plus, senior deputy prosecutor James Konat also is leading the case against South Park murder/rape defendant Isaiah Kalebu, which has caused some conflicts. More details from this morning’s court session will be added here later.

    Sounds like James Konat has his hands full with some serious dirtbags.

      He noted in court at one point that he has done exclusively homicide cases for (I missed the number of, but it was double digits) years.

Sorry, comment time is over.
