Trial date set for Mark Redwine, who is accused in death of son

The father of Dylan Redwine will stand trial in La Plata County court starting in June 2019 for second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death.

KUSA - A trial date has been set for the case against Mark Redwine, who is accused of killing his 13-year-old son Dylan back in 2012.

The jury trial is scheduled in La Plata County court from June 24 to July 11, according to Colorado Courts.

The disappearance of Dylan Redwine sparked media attention from across the country since his November 2012 disappearance. His father had been a potential suspect in his death since nearly the beginning, but it wasn’t until a review involving outside prosecutors that the local district attorney took the case to a grand jury.
