(KAIR)--The arraignment for a man accused of murdering two children in 2020 has been continued. That word comes in a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, who says the continuance was granted Friday when Donald Jackson Jr. appeared in the Leavenworth County District courtroom with his death penalty panel attorneys.

Judge Gerald Kuckelman granted the defense- request for a continuance for arraignment until June 7, with the State agreeing to the need for a continuance “due to an expert needing to finish an analysis.”

Judge Kuckelman additionally granted Defense motions regarding an in camera, or private, review of records and their motion for transcripts for all hearings.

According to Thompson, Jackson is charge with the Capitol murder of two children born in 2006 and 2008.

The alleged premeditated killing took place October 24, 2020.
