SEATTLE (AP) — Two people accused of killing six members of a family in Carnation on Christmas Eve 2007 will not face a jury until October 2011.
Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ramsdell has not ruled whether Michele Anderson or Joseph McEnroe will be tried first.
Both could receive the death penalty if convicted on six counts of aggravated murder for allegedly killing Anderson’s parents, her brother and his wife and their children, ages 5 and 3.
The judge said he did not want a jury to be seated around the Christmas holiday, but he did not say why the first case would not go to trial for another 15 months.
