Trial delayed for man charged in death of infant
Trial for a former Iowa City man charged in the death of his adopted 20-month-old son has been delayed again.
Brian Dykstra, now of South Carolina, is charged with second-degree murder in the Aug. 13, 2005 death of the boy named Isaac, who was found unconscious and having trouble breathing. The child was taken to a hospital and died the next day.
Dykstra wasn't charged until August 2008, and he has pleaded not guilty.
Trial was expected to begin May 23, but it has been delayed for at least a third time and hasn't been rescheduled.
