Trial Postponed In Offutt Murder Case To September
George Lynn Offutt a 21 year old from Minersville Route 1 faces a postponed trial for the first degree murder of his wife Donna Jean 21. Judge John C. Bacon and lawyers agreed to a Sept 3 date after a request to push back from May 26 to June 16 due to out of state witness depositions. The delay aims to cool pretrial press effects and aid jury seating. A motion to dismiss Offutt's bond release hearing was denied with no further efforts expected.
