Lawyer Seeks More Time In Eastern Kentucky Murder Trial
Robert Drown has been found competent to stand trial for the 2007 deaths of 31 year old Jennifer Ison and her two daughters, 10 year old Shannah and 3 year old Marissa, who were killed in Carter County. A May 5th. trial date has been set to take place in Johnson County, but Monday, during a status hearing, Drown's attorney asked once again for more time while his defense team awaits results of DNA testing and to hear from an arson expert. The judge says the court date will be reserved in case both sides are ready to proceed as scheduled. Prosecutors plan to call more than 100 witnesses.
