Trial on hold due to
scheduling conflict
HERMISTON — A man charged in
the shooting death of a farm worker
might not face trial until 2006
because his defense lawyer has a
scheduling conflict.
Ever Alexis Flores, 24, and Margari
to Morfin, 21, are accused of invading
the Hermiston home of 12 farm work
ers, killing 38-year-old Paco Chavez
Tena and wounding Chavez-Tena’s 16
year-old son, court records show.
Flores is charged with aggravated
murder, attempted murder, robbery
and burglary. One of his attorneys,
Ralph Smith, told Umatilla County
Judge Jeffrey Wallace on Monday
that he has conflicts for most of
2005 with a murder case in Marion
County. With the Umatilla County
docket already packed with pending
murder cases, scheduling trial dates
would be difficult.
