A man charged in connection with a deadly robbery in Portland in 2022 has had his trial postponed.

Jonathan Geisinger and three others face charges in connection with the shooting death of Derald Coffin in April of 2022.

According to the Portland Press Herald, Geisinger, who’s charged with felony murder and robbery, pleaded not guilty and rejected a 12-year plea deal last summer.

Geisinger was scheduled to go on trial this month, but his attorney filed a motion to extend the timeline because of a scheduling conflict with another case.
