PROVO, Utah — The murder trial for the man accused of killing two toddlers in a car crash in 2022 has been delayed again.
Kent Cody Barlow is charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Odin Ratliff and Hunter Jackson in Eagle Mountain, along with one count of drug possession.
In a Provo courtroom on Monday, the judge decided that a new judge must take over Barlow's case. This comes after the Utah Supreme Court allowed Barlow's defense attorney to leave the case following the death of his father — overruling the judge's denial to do so.
The judge presiding over this case right now is retiring at the end of the year, so with that along with the change in Barlow's defense team, the trial will be pushed back to March 2025 at the earliest.
