With the pre-trial behind him, Scott County defendant Jay Parker was set to face a jury on Tuesday, January 21.
However, Parker’s attorney sought a last minute continuance, asking the court for more time to prepare his case.
Judge Jerry Don Ramey granted that request, and has set Parker’s new trial date for Tuesday, February 18 at 9:30 a.m.
Parker has been charged with 379 counts of animal cruelty and two charges of theft of property.
