The trial of George Brinkman Jr., the man who stands accused of the triple homicide of a North Royalton mother and her two adult daughters, has been postponed until November.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in this case.
Court personnel from the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas said the case has been continued at the request of the defendant, Brinkman, who also waived his right to a speedy trial.
The continuation was requested, and granted, for the purpose of discovery, gathering more information to help prepare Brinkmans defense during both the guilt phase, where a jury will determine whether or not the defendant has committed the crimes, and the penalty phase, where if found guilty, a jury will determine if he will be executed.
Man convicted in 3 killings is set for trial in 2 moreThe Stark County trial of 47-year-old George Brinkman, of Plain Township, is scheduled for July 15. He has pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder in the June 2017 deaths of 71-year-old Rogell “Gene” John and 64-year-old Roberta “Bobbi” John at their Lake Township home, where he was house-sitting.
Brinkman also was charged in the slayings of 42-year-old Suzanne Taylor, 21-year-old Taylor Pifer and 18-year-old Kylie Pifer in North Royalton around the same time. He pleaded guilty. Authorities have said Brinkman was a family friend and the motive was unclear.

Ohio Supreme Court vacates conviction, death sentence for man who pleaded guilty to killing North Royalton woman and her two daughters
Ohio Supreme Court vacates conviction, death sentence for man who pleaded guilty to killing North Royalton woman and her two daughters
Published: Jul. 21, 2021
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday vacated the conviction and death penalty sentence for a man accused of killing a North Royalton woman and her two daughters.
The state’s high court ruled Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judges Peter Corrigan, Michael Shaughnessy and Timothy McCormick failed to advise George Brinkman of his rights before he pleaded guilty to aggravated murder charges.

SUPREME COURT OF OHIO
SLIP OPINION NO. 2021-OHIO-2473
[...]
III. Conclusion {¶ 23} Because the trial court failed to strictly comply with Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(c) before accepting Brinkman’s guilty plea, we sustain proposition of law No. II. As a result, we need not reach Brinkman’s remaining propositions of law. We vacate Brinkman’s convictions and sentences and remand the cause to the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court for new proceedings. Judgment vacated
What the heck? Is this the fault of the Ohio Supreme Court (who has had some real problems lately) or a problem with the Cuy Co judges? Does this mean this crazy, violent killer will go free?
He's not going anywhere. He has two additional death sentences in a different county, Stark County, for killing a couple in 2017. Though, he's probably appealed those so let's hope they stick.
