AFTER ATTORNEYS ON BOTH SIDES REQUESTED A NEW TRIAL DATE, A JUDGE HAS AGREED TO POSTPONE THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF A FORMER SANTA FE COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPUTY CHARGED WITH MURDER. THE JUDGE DIDN’T SAY WHEN THE RETRIAL OF TAI CHAN, ORIGINALLY SET FOR LATE NOVEMBER, WOULD BEGIN.
CHAN IS CHARGED WITH SHOOTING AND KILLING FELLOW DEPUTY JEREMY MARTIN FOLLOWING A NIGHT OF DRINKING IN LAS CRUCES IN 2014. HIS FIRST TRIAL ENDED IN MAY WHEN JURORS FAILED TO REACH A UNANIMOUS VERDICT.
