KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Judge Richard Baumgartner has reset George Thomas' trial to Dec. 1. Jury selection for his trial will begin Nov. 18. Thomas' trial was previously set Nov. 8.
Thomas will be the third suspect to stand trial for the January 2007 carjacking, kidnapping, rape and murder of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
Thomas' trial was pushed back because the second suspect to be tried, accused ringleader Lemaricus Davidson, has had his trial pushed back two -- one week to allow the defense to test DNA evidence and a second week because of a scheduling conflict with the medical examiner.
Judge Baumgartner will hear a motion to suppress evidence in the case on Oct. 13.
