Trial delayed for Jay Jermier of Decorah

Posted: Tue, Jan 7, 2014 9:38 PM

45-year-old Jay Jermier of Decorah will NOT go on trial Wednesday on one count of vehicular homicide, a Class B felony.

Jermier is accused of having a blood alcohol reading above the legal limit when his motorcycle went out of control on Highway 52 just north of Calmar on September 28th last year.  A passenger on Jermier's motorcycle, 44-year-old Trish Taylor of Calmar, was killed in the crash.

A five-day trial on the charge had been scheduled to start on Wednesday, including jury selection.  But a judge in the case has now postponed the trial until May 21st.
