YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The trial dates for a Yuma man accused of murder have been moved to next year.

40-year-old Nicholas Harder is accused of murdering 57-year-old Anthony Jordinelli back in May of 2023.

Harder is being charged with one count of first-degree murder with pre-mediation and four counts of aggravated assault.

The murder allegedly took place at a home east of Somerton, located on Avenue 3E and County 18th Street.

Harder rejected a plea deal in court last April, and his trial was supposed to begin next month, but will now be moved to April of next year.

Harder will be back in court December 4 for a status hearing.
