Judge postpones trial in Tammy Meyers killing - Las Vegas Review-Journal
Judge Michael Villani listens during a hearing for defendants Erich Nowsch and Derrick Andrews appear in Clark County Justice Center on May 19, 2014. Nowsch is accused in the Feb. Trial was postponed Thursday for two men charged in the slaying of 44-year-old mother of four Tammy Meyers , who was shot outside her home after following a car she thought had hit hers. District Judge Michael Villani pushed the trial for Erich Nowsch and Derrick Andrews back to October, after defense lawyers said they still needed to argue whether to throw out a statement Nowsch gave police. Nowsch, 19, and Andrews, 26, have pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and discharge of a firearm from or within a structure or vehicle in connection with Meyers' Feb. Prosecutors said Andrews was behind the wheel of a silver 2000 Audi A6 from which Nowsch fired 24 shots, striking Meyers in the head Feb. The shootout was initially attributed to "road rage," but a prosecutor said the deadly chain of events started when Meyers saw Andrews' car and mistakenly thought it was one that had earlier bumped hers. Nowsch told police he was in a park across the street from Johnson Junior High School when he noticed a green car that seemed to be following him. Meyers was in a green Buick Park Avenue with her.
