Abaroa's defense attorney asked for a continuance, telling the judge he had just, earlier in October, received more than 10,000 pages of scientific notes and reports from the SBI lab.

The defense attorney said he hadn't had enough time to read all of it, much less have scientific experts analyze it.

The assistant district attorney told the judge that Janet's family has been waiting more than seven years for justice in the case.

DURHAM (WTVD) -- A judge has decided to postpone the trial of a man accused of murdering his pregnant wife in 2005.

Raven Abaroa took the stand during his pretrial hearing Friday to talk about evidence in the case. The defense wanted to suppress evidence gathered at Abaroa's home, specifically the laptop computer he reported missing.

DURHAM —
A copy of a computer disc that purports to be from Raven Abaroa's computer could be introduced into evidence at his murder trial, a judge ruled Friday.
Abaroa, 33, appeared in Durham County Criminal Superior Court Friday morning for a pre-trial motion. He is scheduled to go on trial April 23 for first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Janet Marie Christiansen Abaroa, 25, on April 26, 2005.
Abaroa was not charged and arrested for the murder until Feb. 26, 2010. He was living in Idaho at the time. He is accused of stabbing her to death in their home on Ferrand Drive as their six-month-old baby, Kaiden, slept in another room.

The first witness called to the stand by prosecutors was Janet's mother Janet Christiansen. She said she knew of no physical abuse in the relationship, but said her daughter told her Raven would verbally abuse her when he was feeling down.
