TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) -- It has been almost 4 and half years since Brandi Peters and her three kids were murdered. The man accused of killing the family was set to stand trial Monday, but the case has been postponed, said the court clerk.
According to the court, a motion was filed to delay the trail after the lead Prosecutor Jack Campbell had to undergo emergency surgery. Jury selection was supposed to start on March 23 but has now been moved to start on June 22.
Campbell believes that jury selection will take at least two days based on the nature of the case.
On November 20, 2010 officers found the bodies of Brandi Peters, 27, her 6-year-old twin girls, Tamiyah and Taniyah Peters, and their 3-year-old half brother Javante Segura.
Javante's father, Henry Segura, was arrested ten months after the murder in Le Sueru County, Minnesota. That's where Tallahassee investigators say Segura fled to after murdering the family of four.
At the time of the murder, Peters was a single, stay-at-home mother.
Ciesly Timmons lived next to Peters. Just days after the murder she told WTXL that she was devastated by the loss of who she considered a good friend.
"(Brandi) was a sweet person, she loved her kids," Timmons said in November of 2010. "She was my friend, we were together almost every day, I mean she was just a sweet person, nice."
