Trial has been delayed until November in the manslaughter case against Jaden Johnson.
Trial had been set to start Monday, but due to an unexpected family emergency, the special prosecutor in the case was unable to be present. According to court officials, trial has been rescheduled for November 6.
Johnson is charged with second-degree manslaughter in connection with a crash on Bill Bryan Boulevard in 2023 that resulted in the death of 34-year-old Adrian Tucker. The Hopkinsville Police Department reported that Johnson had been operating the vehicle at speeds of around 90 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour speed zone.
Tucker had to be extricated from his vehicle and was pronounced deceased at the scene. Johnson and two others were also injured in the crash.
