The trial of Ryan Frederick, charged with killing a detective during a drug raid, got off to a slow start this morning and then was postponed for two hours because of the inauguration.
Frederick, 29, made a brief appearance and was arraigned by Circuit Court Judge Marjorie T. Arrington. He pleaded not guilty to murder, firearm possession and manufacturing marijuana charges and then was led out of the courtroom as the attorneys had a private conference with the judge.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys had begun reviewing jurors’ questionnaires before Arrington called a two-hour recess. Jurors were watching the inauguration ceremonies in an adjacent room.
Jury selection will continue at 1:30 p.m.
