The trial of ex-Angels employee Eric Kay in connection with the overdose death of pitcher Tyler Skaggs has been delayed for a third time.
In response to a defense motion, U.S. District Judge Terry R. Means issued an order Wednesday rescheduling the trial for Oct. 4. The order said that “a failure to grant a continuance would deny counsel for the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation …”
The trial was supposed to begin Aug. 16 in Fort Worth, but one of Kay’s attorneys, William Reagan Wynn, argued in a motion last week that the defense needed more time to review evidence.
