ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Family and friends of the Adams family will have had to wait at least two-and-a-half years for closure in their loved ones' deaths as a major delay has been announced in the murder trial against teen suspect Kevin Adams.
His trial was scheduled to begin Feb. 5, 2019. But, new court filings on Dec. 10 show the trial has been pushed back to begin May 5, 2020.
