According to a Kenosha County prosecutor, the trial of Andrew Obregon has been postponed until January, noting health concerns of his defense.

Obregon, of Bristol, had been scheduled to go trial next week in Kenosha County Circuit Court, where he expected to face murder and 27 other felony counts related to his 22 days on the run from law enforcement last year.

At a Sept. 15 jury status hearing, court officials were prepared to go to trial, but according to online court records, his public defenders filed a motion to adjourn the following day.

Assistant District Attorney Carli McNeill, one of two prosecutors, stated via email they were ready for the trial next week.

“The State was prepared to proceed to trial as scheduled on September 26th,” McNeill said.

“However, the trial was adjourned at the request of the defense due to the unavailability of defense counsel as a result of medical issues.”
