Thre won’t be trial starting Monday in the vehicular murder case against Adonis Dailey. And it won’t start in January, either.
In fact, Dailey is now set for trial to begin March 10 in Lyon County District Court, with a trial status hearing set for March 5.
The trial comes with Dailey currently incarcerated in Sedgwick County on unrelated matters. Defense attorney Rick Meier had filed a motion seeking the continuance, saying he would have had inadequate time for trial preparation had the cae moved to trial by Monday.
Dailey was originally charged with single counts of first-degree murder and flee and elude following a pursuit by Kansas Highway Patrol troopers ended in a crash that killed one man in late April of 2023 near the Emporia tollgate on the Kansas Turnpike. An alternate flee and elude count was added to the list of charges at the request of prosecutors back in late July.
