CLEARWATER, Fla. – A new trial date is set for the man accused of throwing his 5-year-old daughter off the Dick Misener Bridge in front of a St. Petersburg police officer.
John Jonchuck's trial is set to begin on March 18, 2019.
Jonchuck is accused of throwing his 5-year-old daughter, Phoebe, off the bridge just after midnight on Jan. 8, 2015.
The trial was set to start Monday, but it got postponed.
Last week, Jonchuck's defense team filed a last-minute motion to exclude a crucial expert witness for the state, Dr. Emily Lazarou, who is expected to testify that Jonchuck wasn't insane.
Hearings are scheduled for Dec. 17 and Dec. 19 for the motion to exclude Lazarou's testimony.
