Murder trial of woman in clown suit delayed

The trial of a Florida woman accused of dressing up as clown in 1990 and fatally shooting the wife of a man she later married has been postponed following the disclosure of a law enforcement file containing information about other clownsighting leads at the time.

Prosecutors informed defense attorneys for Sheila Keen Warren on Wednesday that they had found a “clown sighting file” which defense attorneys had been demanding but prosecutors had been saying they didn’t have, according to a court filing by defense attorneys in Palm Beach County case.

Defense attorneys in the motion asked for a delay in the first-degree murder trial, which was scheduled to start the next week. The jury trial was canceled on Friday.

Keen Warren was arrested in 2017 in Abingdon, Va.

Keen Warren has pleaded not guilty.
