The trial of a Lewiston man accused of strangling his wife earlier this year has been rescheduled for March.

A trial had been scheduled for Nov. 12 for a jury to decide if Gary Mallory, 39, murdered Charlene Mabie, 48, at their home last February. Officials classified Mabie’s death as a homicide by asphyxiation and/or strangulation.

Mallory has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and felony domestic battery charges.  The trial was postponed after Mallory sought a new attorney in the case.

Jury selection is now scheduled to begin March 8.

Mallory remains in the Nez Perce County Jail.
