Teen’s trial in school bomb case again delayed:
The trial for 18-year-old Ryan Schallenberger has been delayed once again. If you’ll recall Schallenberger was the teen who was allegedly plotting an attack on Chesterfield High School in South Carolina. The plot unraveled when his parents discovered a package of ammonium nitrate that was delivered to his house.
According to Schallenberger’s own journals, he admired the Columbine killers and was jealous of all the ‘cool kids’. He also wanted to go to heaven after he committed his attack so he could kill Jesus.
The trial is being delayed once again at the request of the prosecution and the defense. The defense needs more time to confer with their client after months of psych evals requested by the prosecution.
Since Schallenberger received the ammonium nitrate through the mail this is being tried in Federal Court.
The trial is slated to start in March.
