The trial of former Carl Junction R-1 music teacher Craig Smith on stalking and possession of child pornography charges, originally scheduled to begin April 15, has been postponed.
According to Jasper County Circuit Court online records, Smith's attorney, Jonathan Pierce, filed a motion for continuance in March saying that the defense's computer expert "needs additional time to review large volumes of forensic evidence."
The trial has not been rescheduled at this point. A 9 a.m. May 4 hearing has been scheduled for pre-trial motions for a change of plea.
The date has been set for another trial involving Smith. A lawsuit filed against Smith, the Carl Junction R-1 School District and administrators Kyle Williams and Nicole Keller has been scheduled for July 5, 2027, with seven days set aside, according to online records.
The lawsuit was filed by "Jane Doe" who Smith allegedly stalked from the time she was in sixth grade through high school.
