YOUNGSTOWN An aggravated murder trial that might hinge on an unusual type of identification of the suspect won’t go forward Monday, after defense attorneys cried foul last week.
Attorneys David Betras and Patrick Kirally filed a motion in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court asking that the trial of Lavontae E. Knight be postponed or certain evidence be tossed because they were not given evidence in the state’s possession favorable to the defense until April 30 10 days before the trial was supposed to begin.
The evidence is related to a photo lineup police showed to a witness in the case.
