After granting a motion last week to continue the murder trial of Ronald Weiss, Indiana County President Judge Thomas Bianco has scheduled a status conference for December 30th.
Weiss is charged with killing 16-year-old Barbara Bruzda in 1978. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in 1997, but a federal judge in 2018 overturned the conviction and ordered him released. Upon his release, he was immediately re-arrested and jailed on the same charges, and he’s been fighting a retrial ever since.
Weiss’s retrial was scheduled to begin last Monday but the motion for continuance was filed the week before.
