2News Investigates has obtained court audio in the Kent Cody Barlow double murder case that shows his defense attorney wants the trial postponed because he has a family member who has an aggressive form of cancer and has been given weeks to live.
Estrada said there is no one who can take over for Aldana, whose father was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and had 4 to 8 weeks to live. He passed away, and now Aldana is on leave for eight weeks. He said, “In my view, it’s a simple homicide case, and the facts of this case are largely uncontested,” referring to the identity of the accused being known.
He said the Court must weigh several complex interests in the case, including Barlow’s right to a speedy trial, the families of the deceased children, the judicial employ and the public. He then said that the Court has expended more time on this case than any other, calling it “unprecedented.”
