Theresa Bentaas trial for ‘Baby Andrew’ postponed for 3rd time
The trial for a South Dakota woman charged with the murder of her newborn 40 years ago has been postponed again, according the Minnehaha County clerk of courts.
Theresa Bentaas was scheduled for trial Monday in Minnehaha County court in Sioux Falls. Randy Sample with the Minnehaha County State’s Attorney s office said that both sides were in agreement for a reset and that a new date has not yet been scheduled.
Bentaas, 59, is charged with first- and second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter in connection to the former cold case of Baby Andrew John Doe.
