Thank you for the update, I have no doubt he and Heather will both be found guilty, I'm glad it's going to trial relatively quickly and not being dragged out for years.

Norwich murder trial postponed to November

Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. made the decision for postponement so that defense counsel could address some issues before the trial, according to officials who said the rescheduling for November was made after a conference with prosecuting and defense attorneys.

With the delay in Ernest Franklin's case, the trial for Heather Franklin won't be scheduled until next year.
