SEATTLE -- The trial date for former Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Chad Wheeler in his domestic violence case has been moved to June 1, a spokesperson with the King County Prosecutor's office told ESPN.
The trial date initially was set for April 6 after Wheeler pleaded not guilty last week to criminal charges of first-degree domestic violence assault, domestic violence unlawful imprisonment and resisting arrest.
A King County Prosecutor's office spokesperson said the date was moved to give the defense and prosecution time to acquire and sift through discovery material.
The next steps in the pretrial process are a case-setting hearing scheduled for March 18 and an omnibus hearing scheduled for May 4, according to the spokesperson, though those might also be continued.
