The trial for a Tukwila man accused of shooting a man to death in November 2008 at the Westfield Southcenter Mall has been rescheduled to Jan. 19, 2011 at King County Superior Court in Kent.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors have charged Barry Lee Saunders with second-degree murder and first-degree assault. The trial had been scheduled to start July 22, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
Defense attorneys asked for more time to finish interviews with witnesses and attorneys from both sides agreed with the January date, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
Saunders, 23, is charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of a 17-year-old Seattle boy. He also is charged with first-degree assault against a 15-year-old boy who was wounded by a gunshot. Saunders pleaded not guilty to the charges in December 2008.<\/p>\n
Saunders remains in custody at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center. Bail is set at $1 million.<\/p>\n
The shooting apparently stemmed from an altercation in the mall involving several individuals from two distinct groups, according to charging papers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
