Burr Hearing Continued to Monday, Date Trial is to Begin

Today's scheduled appearance in court by Christine Burr has been continued to Monday morning, the day her murder trial is to begin.

The 57-year-old Burr faces three counts of first degree murder and one count of concealment of a homicidal death. She is accused of fatally stabbing Joseph Delaney of Effingham in Burr's apartment and of helping two co-defendants dispose of Delaney's body in rural Jasper County.

The Thursday hearing was scheduled for a possible plea, and that is still a possibility at the Monday hearing, even though jury selection for Burr's trial is scheduled to begin that morning.

Burr remains in custody in Effingham County Jail.
