GREENSBURG, Pa. — The trial for Rahmael Holt has been delayed a second time.
The trial was initially scheduled to begin in April, but was pushed back to August. At a hearing Thursday, the trial was delayed again until November.
Holt is charged in the death of Officer Brian Shaw, who was shot and killed during a traffic stop in November 2017.
Investigators said Holt shot at Shaw when he tried to pull over a vehicle in which he was riding – killing him. Holt was arrested in Pittsburgh after a massive manhunt.
The district attorney is seeking the death penalty in the case.
Holt's attorneys plan to argue for a stay on the death penalty decision until after a Supreme Court case on the constitutionality of the death penalty which will be heard in the fall.
