A Las Vegas man has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the slaying of a UNLV student who had twice dated his daughter.
But trial setting for Jack Getz Sr. was postponed Tuesday until District Judge Jeff Sobel decides on April 7 whether to lower the defendant's $1 million bail.
The Dec. 26 slaying is alleged to have occurred after Getz confronted Rayburn Ware in a parking lot off Russell Road. Getz's 16-year-old daughter had told her father a few days before that she was pregnant and Getz suspected Ware had used a drug to incapacitate her, according to Metro Police.
Getz flagged down police after the incident and directed them to Ware's body.
Getz claimed the shooting death was in self defense.
