Attorneys for accused murderer Casey Cole White have asked for his felony murder trial relating to last year’s escape from Lauderdale County Jail to be postponed.Related:White’s team of attorneys, led by Huntsville’s Mark McDaniel, said there will not be adequate time to prepare for the felony murder trial scheduled for April 23 while also preparing for White’s capital murder trial scheduled for June 12.
