Trial Postponed for Accused Killer of Linda Trinh

The trial for Donta Allen, the accused killer of undergraduate Linda Trinh, has been postponed from Sept. 6 to Nov. 14 because the state's attorney assigned to the case has resigned.

This is the third postponement of the trial, originally scheduled for Jan. 17 and then for April 25.

Trinh, a 21-year-old biomedical engineering major and former president of her sorority, was found dead on Jan. 23, 2005, in her residence in the Charles Apartments, at that time a privately owned building. It was bought by Johns Hopkins in February 2006.

Allen, a non-Hopkins affiliate described by Baltimore City police as a "close friend" of one of Trinh's sorority sisters, was arrested on March 23. The charge is first-degree murder.
