Hospital embezzlement trial postponed

The embezzlement trial of former Barton County Memorial Hospital Chief Financial Officer Kimberly Schlup has been postponed, according to Cedar County Circuit Court records. The trial had originally been scheduled for this week.
Ms. Schlup, 41, Deerfield, allegedly stole $77,735 from the hospital between March 15, 1999, and Oct. 7, 2003. An assistant Missouri attorney general will prosecute the case, assisted by Barton County Prosecuting Attorney Steven Kaderly. The trial is being held in Stockton on a change of venue from Barton County.

One really has to wonder why in the world this case is taking so long to go to trial. Is it normal for a case to take almost 2 years to go to trial???
