The man accused of killing a 7-year-old girl in 2015 had his trial date moved Wednesday afternoon.

Allen/Simpson Circuit Court Judge Janet J. Crocker sustained the commonwealth’s motion to reschedule the jury trial for Timothy Madden.

The trial is now scheduled to begin July 23, 2018.

The next pre-trial hearing is scheduled for May 22 at 1:30 p.m.

Judge Crocker set a deadline of April 27, 2018, for the attorneys to file pretrial motions.

Madden is charged with murder, rape, sodomy, and kidnapping in the death of 7-year-old Gabbi Doolin.

Doolin was killed on November 14, 2015 on the campus of Allen County-Scottsville High School during a youth football game.
