Andrea Macko reports for Porcupine Soup that Carrie Weiser's trial, for the murder of Scott O. Myers, will begin next month, according to Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione. An undisclosed evidentiary issue delayed jury selection last in November. Myers was an outspoken local activist. Stanzione said, “There have been several conferences between defense counsel, my office, and Judge [Charles] Tailleur. All discovery issues are to be resolved by the end of this month and a trial will be confirmed for a date in April 2024." Few details about the Catskill case have been released since the November 26, 2001 murder. Weiser faces 15 years to life in prison, charged with second-degree murder and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. Read more about this story for Porcupine Soup.
