A hearing is scheduled this week in connection with an upcoming murder trial.
Myeisha Simone Garcia of Commerce has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder in connection with the November 2012 stabbing death of a Greenville man.
The indictment returned in February by the Hunt County grand jury also included a lesser charge of manslaughter involving the death of Jamal Stanton.
A pretrial hearing in the case had been scheduled for Tuesday, but was reset for Thursday morning in the 196th District Court.
Judge Steve Tittle has scheduled a tentative trial date for September 9.
Garcia was alleged in the murder count to have knowingly and intentionally stabbed Stanton with a knife on Nov. 28, 2012, or acted with the intent to cause Stanton serious bodily injury, which resulted in the victim’s death.
Garcia, who turns 21 on Saturday, remains in custody at the Hunt County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.
