A new trial date has been set for Brandon Craft, who is charged with killing Adam Petzack.

Craft was charged with deliberate homicide in the 2016 death of Petzack. Craft’s trial has been scheduled for June 3.

Earlier this month, Craft’s attorney was removed from the case due to a conflict of interest.

Larry Lafountain, who has been appointed as Craft’s new defense attorney, asked for the trial to begin no sooner than May.

Jury selection for the trial will start on May 30th at the Montana ExpoPark.
