Judge grants trial delay in Cleveland bodies case

CLEVELAND – A judge has granted a third trial delay for a Cleveland man charged with killing 11 women and dumping their remains around his home.

Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Common Pleas Judge Dick Ambrose on Thursday postponed the trial of 50-year-old Anthony Sowell (SOH'-wehl) until May 2. The trial had been scheduled to begin Feb. 14.

Sowell's lawyers say they need more time to review forensic evidence and Sowell's school records.

Sowell has pleaded not guilty to killing the women. Their remains were found in 2009.
