After multiple delays, the trial of Steven Randy Pirko is scheduled to begin April 29.
Pirko was charged with the second-degree murder of Christopher Ausman on Nov. 19, 2018, nearly three years after Ausman’s body was found on the sidewalk along Highway 33 in January 2014.
Pirko’s defence lawyer appeared in supreme court in Â鶹AV on behalf of Pirko Thursday for the preliminary trial.
