A Fort Stewart soldier has been given
more time to prepare for his trial on murder charges in the fatal
shootings of a superior and a fellow U.S. soldier in Iraq.


      A military judge agreed Tuesday to move back the court-martial
for Sgt. Joseph Bozicevich to June 7, 2010. He had
initially been scheduled to stand trial in March.


      Bozicevich, of Minneapolis, could face the death penalty if
convicted of murder in the slayings of his squad leader, Staff Sgt.
Darris Dawson, and Sgt. Wesley Durbin at a joint U.S.-Iraqi patrol
base south of Baghdad in Sept. 2008.


      Bozicevich's attorney, Charles Gittins, said he needs more time
to identify expert witnesses and get them approved by prosecutors.
