Trial could be continued once again in the murder case against Robert Torian, following a hearing in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon.
Torian is represented by defense attorney Jason Byrd, who asked Judge Andrew Self for trial to be delayed to give the defense more time to get specific evidence from electronic files, as they have finally located a vendor that can preform the action. He believes it’s important to the case to have all evidence examined before trial, which is set for the end of October.
Torian himself says he’s happy with the case they have built, and he’s not interested in delaying trial any further, asking the judge if he can have time to speak with his attorneys.
Judge Self says he is inclined to grant the continuance—especially as the Commonwealth is not opposed—but he wants to grant Torian’s request talk with his team before making a ruling.
Proceedings were continued to next Wednesday. Torian was in jail for allegedly shooting and killing Terrill Moore during an argument that began inside a car on McHenry Street in August of 2019. He is also potentially facing new charges of second-degree assault, following a physical altercation that occurred in the Christian County Jail in August.
