Fulk Trial Delayed Until February

The trial of area resident Mark Fulk, charged with trying to hire someone to kill his wife, has been delayed until after the first of the year.

The 35-year-old Fulk's case was in Fayette County Circuit Court Tuesday for a hearing on any pre-trial motions.  The work to provide information in the case by the prosecution to the defense is not yet finished, so the defense asked for a continuance.  The case had been set to go to trial on December 9.  Instead, Judge James Roberts rescheduled to begin February 24.

Fulk is alleged to have offered a man cash and merchandise if he would kill Fulk's wife.

A status hearing in the case is set for December 12.
