Filing error delays murder trial in Front Royal
A clerical error delaying the murder trial of Clay Marshall Curtis of Welch WV stems from a missing 21 day DNA notice. Prosecutors say a shirt believed to hold Funk Jr. blood is the key evidence, tied to the December 2014 shooting of an off duty Front Royal taxi driver Simon Funk Jr. The defense must receive DNA filing notification 21 days before trial as required by Virginia law.
