LOVELAND, Colo. – A couple from Arapahoe County, Colorado, is facing charges of child abuse and their upcoming jury trial has been rescheduled for June. The mother’s request for release has also been denied, keeping both parents in custody.
The trial was originally set to begin in February, but due to various circumstances, it has been postponed multiple times. Now, the court has determined that the proceedings will take place in June. The delay in the trial has caused concern among both the prosecution and defense, as it prolongs the waiting period for all parties involved.
