During today’s pre-trial hearing for double murder defendant Andrew Griffin in Belmont County, Common Pleas Judge Chris Berhalter granted the defense’s motion for a continuance.
In reaction, Belmont County Prosecutor Kevin Flanagan released the following statement:
“We are disappointed with the request for a continuance by the defense. However, if more time is needed to prepare for their case, we understand the process and their responsibilities to their client. As we were with the March trial date, we will be ready whenever the trial is reset.”
