CLARE, Iowa (AP) - The trial of a woman accused of killing a friend in central Iowa has been delayed.
The new trial starting date in Fort Dodge is Nov. 26 for 27-year-old Mackenzie Knigge, who’s pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. Her trial had been set to begin Aug. 7.
Authorities say she killed 26-year-old Jessica Gomez, of Fort Dodge, on or about Aug. 5 last year at Knigge’s apartment in Clare.
