Judge denies delay in Border Patrol agent’s murder trial
BRADY MCCOMBS
A trial for a U.S. Border Patrol agent charged with second-degree murder is set to begin as planned on Feb. 26 after a federal judge this week denied a request by the agent’s lawyers to delay the proceedings.
On Jan. 2, agent Nicholas Corbett’s attorney, Sean Chapman, formally requested at least two additional months to prepare for the trial. He cited difficulties in finding and consulting with experts and reviewing more than 1,000 pages of disclosure information from the state.
