Trial Delayed For Suspect Accused Of Shooting Girl

BOSTON (CBS4) ― The trial of a Boston man, who is facing charges for a shooting that left a little girl paralyzed, has been delayed.

Kai Leigh Harriot, then three-years-old, was sitting on an upstairs porch at her Dorchester home on July 1, 2003, when she was struck by a stray bullet fired from the street below. Fragments of the bullet penetrated Kai Leigh's spinal cord. Now in kindergarten, she remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Anthony Warren is facing several charges including aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Jury selection was set to begin Monday but it was postponed when Warren's lawyer, Larry Kelly, requested he be allowed to withdraw from the case. The judge approved the request.

Warren also filed a motion seeking dismissal on the grounds his right to a speedy trial was violated.

A hearing will be held Tuesday morning, during which the court will appoint new defense counsel. Both sides will then set a new trial date.

It's expected that Kai Leigh, now 5-years-old, will take the witness stand once the trial starts.
