 said the trial date was moved due to the witness availability problems for both the prosecution and the defense. York was charged in 2022 with one count of negligent homicide and 10 counts of malfeasance in office with the result of Ronald Green's death, a black motorist who died in Union Parish during an encounter with state police. In June of 2023, York requested to have his indictment dropped. The Second Circuit Court of Appeal denied his request in February of 24th.
