Teen's Murder Trial Postponed

The trial of a 15 year-old boy charged with last December’s murder of an 18 year-old in Stockton has been postponed until October. The trial in the murder of Dusty Elderkin was set to start on June 17. The defense in the case motioned for an "affirmative defense," which the judge permitted. Chautauqua County District Attorney David Foley says this will put an extra requirement on the prosecution to look at the new defense. The unidentified defendant is accused of murdering Elderkin with the help of a 14 year-old accomplice. The younger teen’s case was heard in Family Court, where he received a five-year sentence.
