PADUCAH, Ky. — A teleconference to set a trial date for a former Kentucky soldier charged with raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killing her and her family has been postponed.
The trial of 22-year-old Steven Green of Midland, Texas, was set to be scheduled during the call Wednesday, but attorneys canceled because of a scheduling conflict.
The next hearing will be held on Dec. 11 in Louisville.
Green is charged with rape and murder in the deaths of Abeer Qassim al-Janabi and three others in her family. He faces a possible death sentence if convicted.
The former private in the Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division has pleaded not guilty. Four others who served with Green have been convicted in the March 2006 attack.
