Trial Delayed For Waffle House Shooter
A murder trial has been delayed for a former Mississippi firefighter accused of killing a waitress who asked him not to smoke inside a Waffle House restaurant.
The trial of 46-year-old Johnny Max Mount was scheduled to start Monday. A judge has postponed it until May 1 so a psychological evaluation can be done.
Mount is accused of killing 52-year-old Julie Brightwell in November 2015.
Investigators said Mount shot Brightwell once in the head after she asked him not to smoke an e-cigarette. Brightwell was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Mount, who used to be a firefighter in Biloxi, has been jailed on a $2 million bond since his arrest.
