(WJET/WFXP)– The trial of a Corry man accused of murdering a pregnant Amish woman in Crawford County, has been delayed again.
According to court paperwork, the trial of 53-year-old Shawn Cranston has been delayed to June 2025 citing new information in the case. Jury selection for the case will begin on June 9.
Cranston's defense team requested the delay to prepare for the trial after receiving the new information and the prosecution agreed.

Cranston has been in prison without bond since he was taken into custody.
