A jury trial that had been set for a Killeen woman who allegedly helped a man cover up his murder of Vanessa Guillen likely will be delayed for a third time.
On Monday, the defense attorney for Cecily Aguilar, 22, filed a motion for continuance with the federal court in Waco, asking for more time to prepare his case.
Last month, the court set a date of Jan. 19 for jury selection to begin, but if U.S. District Judge Alan D. Albright signs the motion, the timeline will be pushed back farther.
The motion was not opposed by U.S. prosecutors.
