Brothers' Green Bay murder trial postponed six months

GREEN BAY (WLUK) – Next week’s trial for two brothers charged in a Green Bay east-side murder has been postponed six months.

Omar Hernandez, 24, and Jose Hernandez, 23, are charged with first-degree intentional homicide for the Feb. 11 murder of Edgar Rodriguez-Hernandez on Clayton Place.

Both prosecutors and the defense teams asked for the delay due to evidence continuing to be collected, shared, and reviewed.

The cases return to court for a status conference Aug. 14, with trial planned for Nov. 6. A joint trial is planned.
