CONCORD - The judge in the Lisa Greene capital murder trial postponed court proceedings Tuesday because a juror was sick.
Greene, 42, is charged with the deaths of her two children, Daniel Macemore, 10, and Addison Macemore, 8, and arson in a January 2006 mobile home fire. She could face the death penalty if found guilty.
Judge Robert Bell chose not to allow an alternate to take the sick juror’s place because he said it was too early in trial proceedings to lose a juror.
Prosecutors said Tuesday they hope to have the trial completed by Christmas. Bell had asked if prosecutors and defense attorneys could discuss ways to speed up proceedings because testimonies were falling behind schedule last week.
The trial is scheduled to resume today.
