Trial continued for man accused in landlord murder

The trial of a man charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of the owner of Broadway Apartments has been continued, according to online court documents.

Courtney White was charged in October 2011 with the Class-A felony in connection with the death of John Versypt. White was charged a week after the trial of Charles William Curtis Thompson was ruled a mistrial. Currently, a third man, Justin Marshall, has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with Versypt’s death.

White’s trial was scheduled for Jan. 9, 2013, but a conference is set for Friday to determine a new date. Marshall’s trial is currently scheduled for Jan. 22.
