The next trial for Stanley Liggins is now set for early next year. Thursday Judge Marlita Greve scheduled his 4th murder trial for March, in Waterloo.

In September his 3rd trial for the 1990 death of 9 year old Jennifer Lewis of Rock Island ended in a mis-trial when a jury in Black Hawk County could not agree on a verdict. 

His first two convictions were both overturned by appelate courts.
