Desiderio Hernandez
(KLZA)-- A jury trial originally scheduled to have begin Monday, February 8th, for a Falls City man accused in the August shooting death of his cousin, has been continued to May 23rd.
Desiderio Hernandez entered a plea of not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, use of a weapon to commit a felony and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person in November.

If convicted, Hernandez faces a maximum penalty of life in prison. He remains in the Richardson County Jail on a $1.5 million bond.
