The murder trial of 70-year-old Roy Browning Jr. of Iowa City, accused of killing his wife in 2019, has been delayed again.
Online court records show that at a Friday hearing, Judge Kevin McKeever pushed the trial back to November 1st. It had been scheduled to get underway on Monday.
JoEllen Browning was 65 when she was found dead just after 7am April 5th 2019 at the couple’s Green Mountain Drive home. An autopsy concluded that she died of sharp-force injuries. Roy Browning was charged on October 28th of that year and remains in the Johnson County Jail on $5 million bond. He faces life in prison without parole if convicted.
The trial has been delayed multiple times. A case management conference is now set for October 14th.
