ST. PAUL, Minn. — The next court date for the central Minnesota man accused of killing two teenagers in his home has been postponed to spring.
Byron Smith of Little Falls faces two counts of second-degree murder after authorities say he shot and wounded, then later killed Haile Kifer 18, and Nick Brady, 17, when they broke into his house on Thanksgiving Day.
A Morrison County judge had set a Jan. 22 pretrial hearing to determine admissibility of evidence, but rescheduled it for May 6.
Smith's attorney Steven Meshbesher said state investigators indicated they would not have their evidence ready for several months.
