The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Clemons’ attorneys on Monday filed a
motion to delay the trial, claiming the attorney general’s office has not
provided DNA information the state plans to use. The motion says plea agreement
discussions are ongoing.
Clemons and three others were convicted in the 1991 deaths of 20-year-old
Julie Kerry and her 19-year-old sister, Robin.
