In San Bernadino attack, trial delayed for man accused of supplying weapons

The trial for Enrique Marquez, accused of supplying assault weapons to the husband and wife who massacred 14 people in San Bernardino, California, has been postponed until July, prosecutors said Thursday.

Marquez, 24, has pleaded not guilty to charges of lying about purchasing firearms that the pair later used for their December shooting rampage.

U.S. District Court Judge Jesus Bernal, citing requests from both the prosecution and the defense for more time to prepare, moved the start of the trial from Feb. 23 to July 19.

Bernal signed the order on Monday, and it was distributed to the press on Thursday by U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Eileen Decker.
